But few have explored why men did \u003ci\u003enot \u003c\/i\u003efight. That's the question Paul Taylor answers in this groundbreaking Civil War history that examines the reasons why at least 60 percent of service-eligible men in the North chose not to serve and why, to some extent, their communities allowed them to do so. Did these other men not feel the same patriotic impulses as their fellow citizens who rushed to the enlistment office? Did they not believe in the sanctity of the Union? Was freeing men held in chains under chattel slavery not a righteous moral crusade? And why did some soldiers come to regret their enlistment and try to leave the military?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e'Tis Not Our War\u003c\/i\u003e answers these questions by focusing on the thoughts, opinions, and beliefs of average civilians and soldiers. Taylor digs deep into primary sources--newspapers, diaries, letters, archival manuscripts, military reports, and published memoirs--to paint a vivid and richly complex portrait of men who questioned military service in the Civil War and to show that the North was never as unified in support of the war as portrayed in much of America's collective memory.

The story Rinaldi relates is emblematic of the fate of countless others whose lives were shaped by the scourge of slavery. Chambers' mother, a daughter of free blacks in Philadelphia, was kidnapped from her parents by slave catchers, who most likely included the notorious Lucretia (Patty) Cannon. After the kidnapping, Chambers' mother was enslaved on a Virginia tobacco plantation for 37 years before she made her escape to Gettysburg on the night before the historic Civil War battle erupted. She was nine months pregnant with Chambers-and determined that her child would not be born a slave. Gettysburg was a key stop on the Underground Railroad. Harriette Rinaldi retraced her path from Philadelphia to Virginia and back, and her research gives the readers a vivid portrait of the life of an African-American family from the late-eighteenth to early-twentieth century. This riveting chronicle provides background information about the tactics and routes used by slave catchers in abducting free blacks, especially children; the atmosphere in slave markets; the role of religion as a means of control by owners, as well as a means of self-expression by slaves; the treatment of slave children; physical and psychological measures used by masters and overseers to control slaves; sexual abuse by masters; and the operation of the Underground Railroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 02, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49275181727899,"sku":"9781558763326","price":27.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4602\/1275\/files\/1HrpfRO2qu9781558763326.webp?v=1786653905"},{"product_id":"a-broken-regiment-the-16th-connecticuts-civil-war-hardcover","title":"A Broken Regiment: The 16th Connecticut's Civil War - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eLesley J.

Organized in the late summer of 1862, the 16th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry was unprepared for battle a month later, when it entered the fight at Antietam. The results were catastrophic: nearly a quarter of the men were killed or wounded, and Connecticut's 16th panicked and fled the field. In the years that followed, the regiment participated in minor skirmishes before surrendering en masse in North Carolina in 1864. Most of its members spent months in southern prison camps, including the notorious Andersonville stockade, where disease and starvation took the lives of over one hundred members of the unit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe struggles of the 16th led survivors to reflect on the true nature of their military experience during and after the war, and questions of cowardice and courage, patriotism and purpose, were often foremost in their thoughts. Over time, competing stories emerged of who they were, why they endured what they did, and how they should be remembered. By the end of the century, their collective recollections reshaped this troubling and traumatic past, and the \"unfortunate regiment\" emerged as \"The Brave Sixteenth,\" their individual memories and accounts altered to fit the more heroic contours of the Union victory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe product of over a decade of research, Lesley J.

Tired of her chores and irritated by the endless care of three younger sisters, she would like to have a life of her own. Her parents are absent; her Father is off fighting a war she doesn't understand and her Mother has left for Pennsylvania. As the eldest of the four sisters, she must take responsibility for her home and family. When the bloodiest battle of the Civil War is fought almost on her doorstep she is unwillingly pressed into service. Emily is called on to make decisions and to take charge of wounded soldiers while fending off the invading troops and protecting her younger sisters. Life changes forever as she discovers a courage that she did not know she possessed.

Lee did not begin crossing the Potomac on September 4. 1862, just so he could fight at Sharpsburg 13 days later with his back to that same river. \u003cem\u003eFrom Frederick to Sharpsburg\u003c\/em\u003e sheds light on some of the other participants and events long obscured in the shadow cast by America's bloodiest day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Frederick to Sharpsburg: People, Places, and Events of the Maryland Campaign Before Antietam\u003c\/em\u003e, will make a welcomed addition to the library of any student of Antietam, the Maryland Campaign, or the Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 528\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.13 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 12, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49278513840283,"sku":"9798218341800","price":46.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4602\/1275\/files\/nb6qrkMZ479798218341800.webp?v=1786678299"},{"product_id":"battles-of-the-civil-war-a-captivating-guide-to-the-battle-of-fort-sumter-first-and-second-manassas-pea-ridge-shiloh-antietam-chancellorsv-paperback","title":"Battles of the Civil War: A Captivating Guide to the Battle of Fort Sumter, First and Second Manassas, Pea Ridge, Shiloh, Antietam, Chancellorsv - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eCaptivating History\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDive into the defining moments of American history with 'Battles of the Civil War: A Captivating Guide.'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis comprehensive book assembles eleven detailed manuscripts, each offering an in-depth look at a key battle of the Civil War, painting a vivid picture of the era that shaped the United States as we know it today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEleven manuscripts in one book: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Battle of Fort Sumter: A Captivating Guide to the First Battle of the American Civil War\u003c\/b\u003e - Witness the dramatic opening shots that ignited the conflict.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe First Battle of Manassas: A Captivating Guide to the First Battle of Bull Run That Took Place at the Start of the American Civil War\u003c\/b\u003e - Experience the raw emotion and strategic maneuvers of the war's first major engagement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Battle of Pea Ridge: A Captivating Guide to the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern, which was an American Civil War Clash in Arkansas That Took Place in March of 1862\u003c\/b\u003e - Explore the critical Western Theater showdown that had far-reaching implications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Battle of Shiloh: A Captivating Guide to One of the Bloodiest Battles of the American Civil War\u003c\/b\u003e - Delve into the chaos and carnage of Shiloh, a turning point in the war.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Battle of Second Manassas: A Captivating Guide to the Second Battle of Bull Run, A Significant Event in the American Civil War\u003c\/b\u003e - Revisit the battlefield of Bull Run for a second, even more intense, confrontation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Battle of Antietam: A Captivating Guide to an Important Battle of the American Civil War\u003c\/b\u003e - Understand the full impact of this critical and bloody day in American history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Battle of Chancellorsville: A Captivating Guide to an Important Battle of the American Civil War\u003c\/b\u003e - Analyze the tactics and decisions that led to one of the South's most significant victories.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Siege of Vicksburg: A Captivating Guide to the Final Battle of Ulysses S.

Those familiar with the film, 'Gettysburg' will recall the unusual figure of a British Guards officer attired (inaccurately) in his full dress Guardsman's scarlet uniform among the ranks of the Virginians at the famous and pivotal battle. The cinema may have taken its usual liberties, but the character was firmly based in fact and was none other than the author of this book. The British Empire felt no need to come down strongly on either side of the conflict between the States, but its support for the Confederacy was both implicit and occasionally obvious. Fremantle wanted to see the war at first hand and so he travelled to America and accompanied the Confederate forces-actually unglamorously in mufti-in the field. His experiences brought him to the collision of Gettysburg and history is indebted to Fremantle for the observations of a comparatively impartial military man on these monumental times and events.

The book is a collection of letters that Blackford wrote to her family and friends, describing the daily struggles and hardships of life in the army. She writes about the difficulties of living in a war-torn state, the challenges of raising children in such circumstances, and the emotional toll of having a loved one in the army.

It was the high tide of the Confederacy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the way Glenn Tucker has always seen it and this is the way he reports it in High Tide at Gettysburg. The story of Gettysburg has never been told better, perhaps never so well as in this volume. Glenn Tucker has the immediacy of a war correspondent on the spot along with the insights that come from painstaking research. The armies live again in his pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his big, generous book Glenn Tucker has room to follow Lee's army up from Chancellorsville across Maryland into Pennsylvania. With Jackson recently killed, Lee had revamped his top command. Mr. Tucker watches it in operation. In Pennsylvania he reports how the Southern troops got along with the Pennsylvania civilians and how they ate high on the hog in the hot, lush farm country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Meade's men caught up with the Confederates and the two armies were probing to locate each other's concentrations, Mr. Tucker's account becomes sharper, more dramatic. His rapidly moving, vivid narrative of the three-day battle is filled with fascinating episodes and fresh, stimulating appraisals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenn Tucker is akin to Ernie Pyle in his interest in people. With him you meet Harry King Burgwyn, \"boy colonel\" of the 26th North Carolina, just turned twenty-one, who slugged it out with Col. Henry A. Morrow of the 24th Michigan until few survived on either side. You feel the patriotic surge of white-haired William Barksdale, who led his Mississippians on the \"grandest charge of the war\" and died as he broke the Federal line. You sense the magnetism of Hancock the Superb, and feel the driving power of rugged Uncle John Sedgwick as he hurried his big VI Corps to the battlefield. With Old Man Greene you struggle in the darkness to save the Culp's Hill trenches. And much more. Mr. Tucker weaves in many sharp thumbnail biographical sketches without slowing the action. Many North Carolinians, previously slighted, here receive their due.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome historians, believing Lee \"ought to have won, \" write of the battle looking for a villain -- Longstreet, Ewell, Stuart -- who spoiled Lee's effort. Like Lee, Mr. Tucker seeks no scapegoat. He believes that, although the Confederates made some mistakes in timing and failed to make the best use of their artillery, the decisive factors were in small part luck and in large part individual character, often of subordinate commanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull, dramatic, immediate, here is Gettysburg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 472\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.95 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49281571094683,"sku":"9781258192945","price":61.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4602\/1275\/files\/uYPaMNMCYD9781258192945.webp?v=1786697746"},{"product_id":"gettysburg-the-delaplaine-2022-long-weekend-guide-paperback","title":"Gettysburg - The Delaplaine 2022 Long Weekend Guide - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eAndrew Delaplaine\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA complete guide for everything you need to experience a great Long Weekend in Gettysburg, where in 1863 the greatest battle of the Civil War was fought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"My husband is a fanatic about visiting Civil War battlefields.

Although the surrounding countryside was predominantly Unionist in sympathy, Knoxville itself was split down the middle, with Union and Confederate supporters even holding simultaneous political rallies at opposite ends of the town's main street. Following Tennessee's secession, Knoxville soon became famous (or infamous) as a stronghold of stalwart Unionism, thanks to the efforts of a small cadre who persisted in openly denouncing the Confederacy. Throughout the course of the Civil War, Knoxville endured military occupation for all but three days, hosting Confederate troops during the first half of the conflict and Union forces throughout the remainder, with the transition punctuated by an extended siege and bloody battle during which nearly forty thousand soldiers fought over the town. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003cem\u003eLincolnites and Rebels\u003c\/em\u003e, Robert Tracy McKenzie tells the story of Civil War Knoxville-a perpetually occupied, bitterly divided Southern town where neighbor fought against neighbor.

Its original commander was the popular John C. Breckinridge who had been a U.S Vice-President. The brigade fought in many engagements during the war. Most notably at the Battle of Stones River where after a particularly costly assault, General Braxton Bragg lamented as he saw the battered survivors, 'Oh, my poor orphans'. This sobriquet was reputedly derived from the fact that whilst Kentucky itself remained within the Union, its soldiers served both causes and the state was represented by a star on the national flags of both protagonists. The 'orphan' appellation was not widely used during the war but, promoted by Thompson, the unit's historian, became popular among veterans afterwards.

Nearby is the quiet town of Sharpsburg. The scene is pastoral, with rolling hills and farmlands and patches of woods. Stone monuments and bronze tablets dot the landscape. They seem strangely out of place. Only some extraordinary event can explain their presence. Almost by chance, two great armies collided here. Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was invading the North. Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac was out to stop him. On September 17, 1862-the bloodiest day of the Civil War-the two armies fought the Battle of Antietam to decide the issue. Their violent conflict shattered the quiet of Maryland's countryside. When the hot September sun finally set upon the devastated battlefield, 23,000 Americans had fallen-nearly eight times more than fell on Tarawa's beaches in World War II. This single fact, with the heroism and suffering it im­plies, gives the monuments and markers their meaning. No longer do they presume upon the land. Rather, their mute inadequacy can only hint of the great event that happened here-and of its even greater consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis guide covers the Battle of Antietam.

Two of that war's most successful CSA commanders were Nathan Bedford Forrest and John Hunt Morgan. The author of this book served under both generals with Duke's 2nd Kentucky Cavalry and he kept a comprehensive diary of his wartime experiences which he later published as a memoir. Berry's military career in such company could not have been anything but thrilling and, indeed, he was wounded in action several times and was captured by Union forces and escaped on thirteen occasions. Colonel Berry's story is filled with the skirmishing actions typical of the war he fought in with men such as Jesse James and Charles Quantrell, both of whom also appear in these pages.

This book concerns the work of the Catholic Sisterhoods during the American Civil War. Catholic nuns worked among the sick and wounded on both the Union and Confederate sides, in hospitals, on campaign and even on battlefields--where some of them lost their lives while aiding others. Within these pages readers will learn of The Sisters of Mercy who were with the Irish Brigade in the West, of the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, The Sisters of the Holy Cross and others. Here are the exploits of Sister Anthony at Shiloh and of many other nuns during famous battles of the war such as Antietam and Gettysburg. As the author points out, unlike the veterans who wore blue or grey, these sisters never held reunions after the war had ended to keep alive their memories of these terrible times, and so it was fitting that this book was written to memorialise the sacrifice and heroism of these modest women.

They are source material for both serious and casual students. Accounts from the Union side of the conflict exist in numbers, but it is inevitable that those from the losing side are in fewer number. This account is by a French soldier who fought as an infantryman beside his friends from his adopted state of Georgia. In common with many in the Civil War, Hermann and the First Georgia Regiment quickly found themselves in the midst of hard action where casualties quickly mounted. They saw action at Antietam, Second Manassas, Fredericksburg, Chickamauga and on many other bloodily contested fields before the end of the war.

This key factor combined with a soldier of higher intelligence, capable of independent thought and action and skilful in the use of his weapons, made for a highly effective light infantryman, skirmisher and scout. Green was often their uniform colour irrespective of the nation they served, for it referenced the 'hunter' from whose origin their service developed in spirit and action. In the British Army the 60th and 95th (Rifles) became famous during the Napoleonic Wars, though the senior regiment, the 60th, had grown from the Royal Americans who had proved their mettle on a battlefield where the skills of this kind of infantryman were entirely applicable-the French and Indian War. Warfare in the great North Eastern forests of America brought forth many green clad riflemen and those raised in the cause of the Union by the state of Vermont were among its most notable. With their distinctive uniforms, high leather leggings and hair covered knapsacks they were the very epitome of their forebears, the Jaegers.

Tillinghast brings together two accounts that today would be unlikely to see individual re-publication because of their short length. They concern the time the authors spent with their regiment of Rhode Island Volunteers during the conflict. Grant particularly was much concerned with the activities of the regiment and also became a significant contributor to the substantial published history of the regiment. The twelfth was one of the so called 'Nine Month Regiments' though it actually served for ten months. Whilst the regiment's service was comparatively short it earned the appellation of 'the Trotting Twelfth' partly as a result of its incredible march from Nicholasville to Jamestown, Kentucky-some 100 miles under broiling sun-in six days without the loss of a single man. Indeed the regiment's marching abilities became legendary and its name well earned as it pursued the elusive Morgan and his cavalry across Kentucky to prevent him raiding into Ohio. This included a lively affair with the notable Confederate raider horse soldiers at Green River, Kentucky. Grant's view of the Battle of Fredericksburg is particularly useful and indeed he was responsible for the portion of the greater regimental history concerning it. At Fredericksburg in the closing month of 1862, Burnside had to ferry his army across the Rappahannock River in the face of fire from the enemy on the opposite bank and once across fight through the streets of the town before assaulting well prepared Confederate entrenched positions under Lee on Maryes Heights. The affair was a notable one-sided catastrophe for the Union Army which lost nearly 13,000 men killed, wounded, missing or captured-more than twice that of the enemy. Grant, Tillinghast and their Rhode Island comrades, irrespective of their short service, more than earned their right to proclaim themselves seasoned 'veterans.'\u003cbr\u003e Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 29, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49285661360283,"sku":"9780857066589","price":21.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4602\/1275\/files\/DZTPriWwRn9780857066589.webp?v=1786730001"},{"product_id":"cushing-of-gettysburg-the-story-of-a-union-artillery-commander-paperback","title":"Cushing of Gettysburg: The Story of a Union Artillery Commander - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eKent Masterson Brown\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Lieutenant Cushing was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by the pPresident of the United States on November 6, 2014, 151 years after his death at the Angle at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, where he commanded Battery A, Fourth United States Artillery.

It was here that the Confederate \"High Tide\" failed to brim over the Union defenders. Many historical accounts have been written about the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War detailing the technical and humanistic aspects of the soldiers and their leaders. In \"If the South Won Gettysburg\" author Mark Nesbitt makes a dramatic hypothetical examination of precisely that theory: What if the South won at Gettysburg as a result of a change in the South's battle tactics ? What would have been the fate of this great nation? From key moments at the Battle of Gettysburg and throughout the rest of the war, and beyond, Nesbitt makes a bold speculation on the ways in which the end results could have differed had the South been successful at Gettysburg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eI started out, back in the 1970s, as a National Park Service Ranger\/Historian in Gettysburg, PA. I knew that I wanted to be a writer, so after five years with the NPS, I got the crazy idea that I should start my own research and writing company. Thus began Interpretive Enterprises. I spent several years as a freelance writer and wondering if I had lost my mind. My first book was a children's book: The Little Drummer Boy. It won an award and boosted my confidence. I had been collecting ghost stories of the Gettysburg area since I first arrived, so I decided to approach a local publisher to see if they'd be interested in a book about the Ghosts of Gettysburg. The first ghost book came out in 1991. Since then, I have written fifteen books, covering topics of historical interest, as well as the paranormal. My stories have been seen on The History Channel, A\u0026amp;E, The Discovery Channel, The Travel Channel, Unsolved Mysteries, The Biography Channel, and numerous regional television shows and heard on Coast to Coast AM, and regional radio. In 1994, I founded \"The Ghosts of Gettysburg Candlelight Walking Tours(R),\" a tour based on the stories in my book series. The tour company started out on a card table in the town square. The next year I rented office space at the corner of Baltimore St. and Steinwehr Ave. Finally, in 1997, I purchased the current headquarters building at 271 Baltimore St. In 2006, I expanded into Frederickburg, VA and started the Ghosts of Fredericksburg Tours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 20, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49286736183451,"sku":"9780984906376","price":14.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4602\/1275\/files\/NIUZokwUAJ9780984906376.webp?v=1786736689"},{"product_id":"the-last-shot-the-incredible-story-of-the-c-s-s-shenandoah-and-the-true-conclusion-of-the-american-civil-war-paperback","title":"The Last Shot: The Incredible Story of the C.S.S.

In other words, at the time, big government advocate Lincoln and the Republican Party were Liberals, while small government proponent Davis and the Democratic Party were Conservatives. This simple fact transforms the American Civil War from what pro-North writers disingenuously assert was a battle over abolition and slavery, to what it really was.

He gives special attention to the U.S. elections between 1828 and 1896, when party names and platforms changed, making an exceedingly complex subject entirely understandable to the layperson and academic alike.

As a child, he was educated in private schools and later enrolled in North Carolina Military Institute at Charlotte in April, 1860 when he was fifteen years old. When the war began, he participated in the first battle at Bethel Church as a member of the corps of cadets and thereafter enlisted as a private in Company C of the 18th Mississippi Infantry, which became part of Barksdale's Mississippi Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. In the first two years of the war, he saw action at Leesburg, Savage Station, Malvern Hill, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg. At age eighteen, he was promoted to the rank of Lieut. of Cavalry in April, 1863 and returned to Mississippi to serve as aide-de-camp to James R. Chalmers. When Chalmers' command became part of Nathan Bedford Forrest's cavalry in January, 1864, Dinkins had opportunity to observe the famed Confederate leader and participated in most of Forrest's raids and campaigns for the rest of the war. After the war, he was employed with the Illinois Central Railroad Company, working in Memphis and Jackson, Tennessee and Aberdeen, Mississippi. In his later years, he went into banking in Louisiana, edited a column for the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper and was a member of several historical societies.

In Emancipation, the Union Army, and the Reelection of Abraham Lincoln Jonathan W. White challenges this reigning paradigm in Civil War historiography, arguing instead that the soldier vote in the presidential election of 1864 is not a reliable index of the army's ideological motivation or political sentiment. Although 78 percent of the soldiers' votes were cast for Lincoln, White contends that this was not wholly due to a political or social conversion to the Republican Party. Rather, he argues, historians have ignored mitigating factors such as voter turnout, intimidation at the polls, and how soldiers voted in nonpresidential elections in 1864.\u003cbr\u003eWhile recognizing that many soldiers changed their views on slavery and emancipation during the war, White suggests that a considerable number still rejected the Republican platform, and that many who voted for Lincoln disagreed with his views on slavery. He likewise explains that many northerners considered a vote for the Democratic ticket as treasonous and an admission of defeat.\u003cbr\u003eUsing previously untapped court-martial records from the National Archives, as well as manuscript collections from across the country, White convincingly revises many commonly held assumptions about the Civil War era and provides a deeper understanding of the Union Army.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJONATHAN W.
