This collection of thirteen essays examines the leaders of the
southern states during the Civil War. Malcolm C. McMillan writes of
the futile efforts of Alabama's wealthy governors to keep the trust
of the poor non-slaveholding whites. Paul D. Escott shows Georgia
Governor Joseph Emerson Brown's ability to please both the planter
elite and the yeoman farmers. John B. Edmunds, Jr. examines the
tremendous problems faced by the governors of South Carolina, the
state that would suffer the highest losses. Each of the
contributors describes the governor's reaction to undertaking
duties never before required of men in their positions--urging men
to battle, searching for means to feed and clothe the poor,
boosting morale, and defending their state's territories, even
against great odds.
