Yankee Reporters and Southern Secrets: Journalism, Open Source
Intelligence, and the Coming of the Civil War reveals the evidence
of secessionist conspiracy that appeared in American newspapers
from the end of the 1860 presidential campaign to just before the
first major battle of the American Civil War. This book tells the
story of the Yankee reporters who risked their lives by going
undercover in hostile places that became the Confederate States of
America. By observing the secession movement and sending reports
for publication in Northern newspapers, they armed the Union with
intelligence about the enemy that civil and military leaders used
to inform their decisions in order to contain damage and answer the
movement to break the Union apart and establish a separate
slavery-based nation in the South.
