Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before his death in 1870, Robert E. Lee penned a letter to Col. Charles Marshall in which he argued that we must cast our eyes backward in times of turmoil and change, concluding that “it is history that teaches us to hope.” Charles Pierce Roland, one of the nation’s most distinguished and respected historians, has done exactly that, devoting his career to examining the South’s tumultuous path in the years preceding and following the Civil War. History Teaches Us to Hope: Reflections on the Civil War and Southern History is an unprecedented compilation of works by the man the volume editor John David Smith calls a “dogged researcher, gifted stylist, and keen interpreter of historical questions.”Throughout his career, Roland has published groundbreaking books, including The Confederacy (1960), The Improbable Era: The South since World War II (1976), and An American Iliad: The Story of the Civil War (1991). In addition, he has garnered acclaim for two biographical studies of Civil War leaders: Albert Sidney Johnston (1964), a life of the top field general in the Confederate army, and Reflections on Lee (1995), a revisionist assessment of a great but frequently misunderstood general. The first section of History Teaches Us to Hope, “The Man, The Soldier, The Historian,” offers personal reflections by Roland and features his famous “GI Charlie” speech, “A Citizen Soldier Recalls World War II.” Civil War–related writings appear in the following two sections, which include Roland’s theories on the true causes of the war and four previously unpublished articles on Civil War leadership. The final section brings together Roland’s writings on the evolution of southern history and identity, outlining his views on the persistence of a distinct southern culture and his belief in its durability. History Teaches Us to Hope is essential reading for those who desire a complete understanding of the Civil War and southern history. It offers a fascinating portrait of an extraordinary historian.
Download or read book Civil War Women written by Gene Schmiel and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriet Tubman. Clara Barton. Sojourner Truth. Harriet Beecher Stowe. These and many other women were important actors who had a significant influence on the United States during the Civil War. At the time they and their fellow female trailblazers were underestimated because of the social norms of the era. But over time they came to be seen as indispensable in many fields, not only nursing, but also, strangely enough, espionage. Their actions were critical in changing the mindset of the nation as to the worth and role of women, and it would never be the same.This book contains 50 short biographies of these influential women, including their pictures and additional contemporary artifacts, from pictures of the hospitals at which they worked to battlefield where they fought, frequently disguised as men.This book is the fourth in the series "Civil War Personalities, 50 At a Time," and it focuses on the half of of the population few would have even considered as important before the war began. But the Civil War changed literally every aspect of American life, including relations between the sexes. This book will show you how and why that happened, and it will also, through the list of books for further reading, allow you to pursue further information. Enjoy the trip!
