Through informative case studies, this illuminating book remaps
considerations of the Civil War and Reconstruction era by charting
the ways in which the needs, interests, and experiences of going to
war, fighting it, and making sense of it informed and directed
politics, public life, social change, and cultural memory after the
war's end. In doing so, it shows that "the war" did not actually
end with Lee's surrender at Appomattox and Lincoln's assassination
in Washington. As the contributors show, major issues remained,
including defining "freedom"; rebuilding the South; integrating
women and blacks into postwar society, culture, and polities;
deciding the place of the military in public life; demobilizing or
redeploying soldiers; organizing a new party system; and
determining the scope and meanings of "union."
