A major new collection of modern commentary from scholars,
historians, and Civil War buffs on the significant events of the
Civil War, culled from The New York Times' popular Disunion on-line
journal Since its debut on November 6, 2010, Disunion, The New York
Times' acclaimed journal about the Civil War, has published
hundreds of original articles and won multiple awards, including
"Best History Website" from the New Media Institute and the History
News Network. Following the chronology of the secession crisis and
the Civil War, the contributors to Disunion, who include modern
scholars, journalists, historians, and Civil War buffs, offer
ongoing daily commentary and assessment of the Civil War as it
unfolded.Now, for the first time, this fascinating and historically
significant commentary has been gathered together and organized in
one volume. In The New York Times: Disunion, historian Ted Widmer,
has selected more than 100 articles that cover events beginning
with Lincoln's presidential victory through the Emancipation
Proclamation. Topics include everything from Walt Whitman's wartime
diary to the bloody guerrilla campaigns in Missouri and Kansas.
Esteemed contributors include William Freehling, Adam Goodheart,
and Edward Ayers, among others.The book also compiles new essays
that have not been published on the Disunion site by contributors
and well-known historians such as David Blight, Gary Gallagher, and
Drew Gilpin Faust. Topics include the perspective of
African-American slaves and freed men on the war, the secession
crisis in the Upper South, the war in the West (that is, past the
Appalachians), the war in Texas, the international context, and
Civil War era cartography. Portraits, contemporary etchings, and
detailed maps round out the book."
In Disunion, Edward L. Widmer, George Kalogerakis, and Clay Risen
bring together the best essays of the celebrated New York Times
blog to offer a unique and unforgettable history of The Civil War,
from Fort Sumter to Appomattox. Celebrated upon publication for
their startling originality, their uncanny ability to bring
immediacy and to inspire fresh thought, the pieces were an integral
part of the sesquicentennial celebrations, and indeed came to
define them. Susan Schulten's "Visualizing History " offers but one
example. In 1860, the United States government took its final count
of the country's slave population. When the Coast Survey produced
maps from the data, Americans could at last visualize slavery's
prevalence; degrees of shading indicated the number of slaves in a
given county. Beaufort County was one of the darkest on the map-in
this blackened zone of South Carolina, slaves comprised 82.8
percent of the populace. Lincoln became obsessed with the map and
used it to trace his troops' movement-Francis Bicknell Carpenter
even painted it in the corner of "President Lincoln Reading the
Emancipation Proclamation to His Cabinet. Schulten's pieces and
scores of others explore the Civil War by means of key contemporary
sources. Moving both chronologically and thematically across all
four years, the volume is a comprehensive and illuminating text for
scholars and general readers alike. Major academic and popular
voices come together in each chapter to discuss secession, slavery,
battles, and domestic and global politics. The selections feature
previously unheard voices-women, freed African Americans, and
Native Americans-but also Lincoln, Grant, and Lee. In one volume,
Disunion explores America's bloodiest conflict and brings home its
legacies.
