Offering comprehensive coverage for those examining Civil War
propaganda, this volume provides a broad analysis of efforts by
both Union and Confederate sides to influence public opinion of
America's deadliest conflict. This illuminating reference work
contains excerpts from roughly 100 individual pieces of propaganda
generated during the American Civil War in the North and the South,
as well as contextual analysis to assist readers in understanding
its utility, importance, and effect. It includes written arguments,
staged photographs, and political cartoons, all of which were used
to advance one side's objectives while undermining the enemy's.
This helps readers to understand the underlying arguments of each
side as well as the willingness of each to distort the truth for
political, military, or economic advantage. This book is organized
chronologically, allowing readers to understand how propaganda
developed and expanded throughout the war. It includes a chapter
dedicated to each of the war years (1861–1865), an antebellum
chapter, and a postwar chapter. Each document comprised in the
volume includes an analysis of the significance and effectiveness
of the piece and guides readers to examine it with a critical eye.
The original source documents remain in their original verbiage,
including common spelling errors and other interesting aspects of
19th-century communication.
