Claiming more than 600,000 lives, the American Civil War had a
devastating impact on countless numbers of common soldiers and
civilians, even as it brought freedom to millions. This book shows
how average Americans coped with despair as well as hope during
this vast upheaval. A People at War brings to life the full
humanity of the war's participants, from women behind their plows
to their husbands in army camps; from refugees from slavery to
their former masters; from Mayflower descendants to freshly
recruited Irish sailors. We discover how people confronted their
own feelings about the war itself, and how they coped with
emotional challenges (uncertainty, exhaustion, fear, guilt,
betrayal, grief) as well as physical ones (displacement, poverty,
illness, disfigurement). The book explores the violence beyond the
battlefield, illuminating the sharp-edged conflicts of neighbor
against neighbor, whether in guerilla warfare or urban riots. The
authors travel as far west as China and as far east as Europe,
taking us inside soldiers' tents, prisoner-of-war camps,
plantations, tenements, churches, Indian reservations, and even the
cargo holds of ships. They stress the war years, but also cast an
eye at the tumultuous decades that preceded and followed the
battlefield confrontations. An engrossing account of ordinary
people caught up in life-shattering circumstances, A People at War
captures how the Civil War rocked the lives of rich and poor, black
and white, parents and children-and how all these Americans pushed
generals and presidents to make the conflict a people's war.
