What happens when partisanship is pushed to its extreme? In With
Ballots and Bullets, Nathan P. Kalmoe combines historical and
political science approaches to provide new insight into the
American Civil War and deepen contemporary understandings of mass
partisanship. The book reveals the fundamental role of partisanship
in shaping the dynamics and legacies of the Civil War, drawing on
an original analysis of newspapers and geo-coded data on voting
returns and soldier enlistments, as well as retrospective surveys.
Kalmoe shows that partisan identities motivated mass violence by
ordinary citizens, not extremists, when activated by leaders and
legitimated by the state. Similar processes also enabled partisans
to rationalize staggering war casualties into predetermined vote
choices, shaping durable political habits and memory after the
war's end. Findings explain much about nineteenth century American
politics, but the book also yields lessons for today, revealing the
latent capacity of political leaders to mobilize violence.
