Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1863 Confederate forces confronted the Union garrison at Suffolk Virginia, and an exhausting and deadly campaign followed. Wills (history and philosophy, U. of Virginia-Wise) focuses on how the ordinary people of the region responded to the war.

Download or read book Rites of Retaliation written by Lorien Foote and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War, Union and Confederate politicians, military commanders, everyday soldiers, and civilians claimed their approach to the conflict was civilized, in keeping with centuries of military tradition meant to restrain violence and preserve national honor. One hallmark of civilized warfare was a highly ritualized approach to retaliation. This ritual provided a forum to accuse the enemy of excessive behavior, to negotiate redress according to the laws of war, and to appeal to the judgment of other civilized nations. As the war progressed, Northerners and Southerners feared they were losing their essential identity as civilized, and the attention to retaliation grew more intense. When Black soldiers joined the Union army in campaigns in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, raiding plantations and liberating enslaved people, Confederates argued the war had become a servile insurrection. And when Confederates massacred Black troops after battle, killed white Union foragers after capture, and used prisoners of war as human shields, Federals thought their enemy raised the black flag and embraced savagery. Blending military and cultural history, Lorien Foote's rich and insightful book sheds light on how Americans fought over what it meant to be civilized and who should be extended the protections of a civilized world.
Download or read book Long Island and the Civil War written by Harrison Hunt and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although no battles were fought on Long Island, the Civil War deeply affected all of its residents. More than three thousand men--white and black--from current-day Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties answered the call to preserve the Union. While Confederate ships lurked within eight miles of Montauk Point, camps in Mineola and Willets Point trained regiments. Local women raised thousands of dollars for Union hospitals, and Long Island companies manufactured uniforms, drums and medicines for the army. At the same time, a little-remembered draft riot occurred in Jamaica in 1863. Local authors Harrison Hunt and Bill Bleyer explore this fascinating story, from the 1860 presidential campaign that polarized the region to the wartime experiences of Long Islanders on the battlefield and at home.

Download or read book The Civil War Infantryman written by Gregory Ashton Coco and published by Thomas Publications (PA). This book was released on 1996 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lieutenant Edmund Patterson of the 9th Alabama Infantry Regiment once wrote that "one know...nothing at all about [combat] until he has participated in it." He was correct; to the uninitiated there has always been a curiosity concerning that mysterious realm. This book, then, was prepared using the infantryman's memories and words to shed some light on the subject of Civil War battles and the conduct and experiences of the soldiers who fought them. But it does not end there. The food they ate, the uniforms they wore, and the equipment and weapons they carried and used, are segments of this endeavor. Moreover, dozens of other engrossing themes are explained, from recruitment, training and marches, through camp life and muster out. Included too, are discussions on the wounds and field hospitals they endured, and the burials they received. All of these topics compose the interesting life of the Union and Confederate infantryman on campaign between 1861 and 1865. -- Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains three diaries as well as various Civil War letters and documents. The first diary was written by Robert H. Wardlaw in 1820 when he was 13 years old and a young scholar and continues until age 18 when he learns of the death of his mother while he was away at school. Robert Wardlaw's ten sons all served the Confederacy and one of those sons, William C. Wardlaw is the author of the other two diaries. William Wardlaw was a captain in Company K of the 2nd SC Rifles, Jenkins Brigade. In addition to daily entries, he logs his locations when letters were sent or received.
