Book The Story of a Border City During the Civil War

Download or read book The Story of a Border City During the Civil War written by Galusha Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1908 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Galusha Anderson was a pro-Union Baptist minister in St. Louis from 1858-1866. Anderson's book covers the entire course of the war in Missouri, focusing heavily on St. Louis itself. Among the many topics covered are the Minute Men and the Home Guard, the churches of St. Louis, Martial Law and property confiscation, refugees, the Sanitary Commission, the OAK scare of 1864, and the Loyalty Oath of 1865. Anderson's opinion of his own importance in events is exaggerated, and at times the reader would be forgiven for thinking that Blair, Lyon, Fremont, Schofield, Rosecrans, et al could have just stayed in bed -- it was really Galusha who held the fate of the Union cause in Missouri in his strong hands."--Missouri Civil War Reader.

Download or read book The Civil War in Missouri written by Louis S. Gerteis and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2012-07-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guerrilla warfare, border fights, and unorganized skirmishes are all too often the only battles associated with Missouri during the Civil War. Combined with the state’s distance from both sides’ capitals, this misguided impression paints Missouri as an insignificant player in the nation’s struggle to define itself. Such notions, however, are far from an accurate picture of the Midwest state’s contributions to the war’s outcome. Though traditionally cast in a peripheral role, the conventional warfare of Missouri was integral in the Civil War’s development and ultimate conclusion. The strategic battles fought by organized armies are often lost amidst the stories of guerrilla tactics and bloody combat, but in The Civil War in Missouri, Louis S. Gerteis explores the state’s conventional warfare and its effects on the unfolding of national history. Both the Union and the Confederacy had a vested interest in Missouri throughout the war. The state offered control of both the lower Mississippi valley and the Missouri River, strategic areas that could greatly factor into either side’s success or failure. Control of St. Louis and mid-Missouri were vital for controlling the West, and rail lines leading across the state offered an important connection between eastern states and the communities out west. The Confederacy sought to maintain the Ozark Mountains as a northern border, which allowed concentrations of rebel troops to build in the Mississippi valley. With such valuable stock at risk, Lincoln registered the importance of keeping rebel troops out of Missouri, and so began the conventional battles investigated by Gerteis. The first book-length examination of its kind, The Civil War in Missouri: A Military History dares to challenge the prevailing opinion that Missouri battles made only minor contributions to the war. Gerteis specifically focuses not only on the principal conventional battles in the state but also on the effects these battles had on both sides’ national aspirations. This work broadens the scope of traditional Civil War studies to include the losses and wins of Missouri, in turn creating a more accurate and encompassing narrative of the nation’s history.

Book Show Me Atrocities

    Book Details:
  • Author : Larry E. Wood
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2018-05-21
  • ISBN : 9780970282996
  • Pages : 226 pages

Download or read book Show Me Atrocities written by Larry E. Wood and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guerrilla conflict in Missouri during the Civil War gave rise to an atmosphere of rancor that carried over into the post-war years and often led to violent incidents in the latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many other notorious episodes in the state grew not out of gigantic social upheaval like civil war but out of everyday passions like greed, envy, lust, and racial hatred. Most of the incidents chronicled in Show-Me Atrocities are of the latter type. They happened in Missouri, but they could have happened almost anywhere, because the ugly aspects of human nature know no boundaries. Many of the incidents detailed here are not particularly well known, but that makes them no less interesting. Sometimes the obscure stories are the most curious.

Book Rebels on the Border

    Book Details:
  • Author : Aaron Astor
  • Publisher : LSU Press
  • Release : 2012-05-01
  • ISBN : 0807143006
  • Pages : 403 pages

Download or read book Rebels on the Border written by Aaron Astor and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebels on the Border offers a remarkably compelling and significant study of the Civil War South's highly contested and bloodiest border states: Kentucky and Missouri. By far the most complex examination to date, the book sharply focuses on the "borderland" between the free North and the Confederate South. As a result, Rebels on the Border deepens and enhances understanding of the sectional conflict, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. After slaves in central Kentucky and Missouri gained their emancipation, author Aaron Astor contends, they transformed informal kin and social networks of resistance against slavery into more formalized processes of electoral participation and institution building. At the same time, white politics in Kentucky's Bluegrass and Missouri's Little Dixie underwent an electoral realignment in response to the racial and social revolution caused by the war and its aftermath. Black citizenship and voting rights provoked a violent white reaction and a cultural reinterpretation of white regional identity. After the war, the majority of wartime Unionists in the Bluegrass and Little Dixie joined former Confederate guerrillas in the Democratic Party in an effort to stifle the political ambitions of former slaves. Rebels on the Border is not simply a story of bitter political struggles, partisan guerrilla warfare, and racial violence. Like no other scholarly account of Kentucky and Missouri during the Civil War, it places these two crucial heartland states within the broad context of local, southern, and national politics.
