In The Confederacy as a Revolutionary Experience (1970) and The
Confederate Nation (1979), Emory Thomas redefined the field of
Civil War history and reconceptualized the Confederacy as a unique
entity fighting a war for survival. Inside the Confederate Nation
honors his enormous contributions to the field with fresh
interpretations of all aspects of Confederate life -- nationalism
and identity, family and gender, battlefront and home front, race,
and postwar legacies and memories. Many of the volume's twenty
essays focus on individuals, households, communities, and
particular regions of the South, highlighting the sheer variety of
circumstances southerners faced over the course of the war. Other
chapters explore the public and private dilemmas faced by
diplomats, policy makers, journalists, and soldiers within the new
nation. All of the essays attempt to explain the place of
southerners within the Confederacy, how they came to see themselves
and others differently because of secession, and the disparities
between their expectations and reality.
