In this rich study of Union governors and their role in the Civil
War,Stephen D. Engle examines how these politicians were pivotal in
securingvictory. In a time of limited federal authority, governors
were an essentialpart of the machine that maintained the Union
while it mobilised and sustainedthe war effort. Charged with the
difficult task of raising soldiers fromtheir home states, these
governors had to also rally political, economic, andpopular support
for the conflict, at times against a backdrop of significantlocal
opposition. Engle argues that the relationship between these
loyal-state leadersand Lincoln's administration was far more
collaborative than previouslythought. While providing detailed and
engaging portraits of these men, theirstate-level actions, and
their collective cooperation, Engle brings into newfocus the era's
complex political history and shows how the Civil War testedand
transformed the relationship between state and federal governments.
