Every time Union armies invaded Southern territory there were
unintended consequences. Military campaigns always affected the
local population - devastating farms and towns, making refugees of
the inhabitants, undermining slavery. Local conditions in turn
altered the course of military events. The social effects of
military campaigns resonated throughout geographic regions and
across time. Campaigns and battles often had a serious impact on
national politics and international affairs. Not all campaigns in
the Civil War had a dramatic impact on the country, but every
campaign, no matter how small, had dramatic and traumatic effects
on local communities. Civil War military operations did not occur
in a vacuum; there was a price to be paid on many levels of society
in both North and South. The Oxford Handbook of the American Civil
War assembles the contributions of thirty-nine leading scholars of
the Civil War, each chapter advancing the central thesis that
operational military history is decisively linked to the social and
political history of Civil War America. The chapters cover all
three major theaters of the war and include discussions of Bleeding
Kansas, the Union naval blockade, the South West, American Indians,
and Reconstruction. Each essay offers a particular interpretation
of how one of the war's campaigns resonated in the larger world of
the North and South. Taken together, these chapters illuminate how
key transformations operated across national, regional, and local
spheres, covering key topics such as politics, race, slavery,
emancipation, gender, loyalty, and guerrilla warfare.
