Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thoroughly researched account of a memorable Civil War battle Columbus, Georgia, 1865 is a comprehensive study of the Easter Sunday, April 16, 1865, conflict, which occurred in the dark of night and extended over a mile and half through a series of forts and earthworks and was finally decided in an encounter on a bridge a thousand feet in length. This volume offers the first complete account of this battle, examining and recounting in depth not only the composition and actions of the contending forces, which numbered some three thousand men on each side, but meticulously detailing the effect of the engagement on the city of Columbus and its environs. Misulia’s study fills in an omission in the grand account of our cataclysmic national struggle and adds a significant chapter to the history of an important regional city. In addition, Misulia takes on the long-vexing question of which encounter should be recognized as the last battle of the Civil War and argues persuasively that Columbus, Georgia, qualifies for this distinction on a number of counts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Columbus was one of the last events in the long and violent American Civil War. The Union Cavalry Corps commanded by Major General James H. Wilson attacked the composite remnants of both Alabama and Georgia troops commanded by Major General Howell Cobb. The industrial center of Columbus, Georgia was a target in a series of planned attacks in a campaign that had begun that spring. Sweeping eastward across Alabama and Georgia to eliminate Confederate resistance, destroy materiel and industrial facilities, "Wilson's Raid" was a brilliant Union success.On April 16, 1865 the Union cavalry forces attacked the western earthwork defenses that guarded the Confederate industrial center of Columbus, Georgia. While the war effectively ended with Lee's surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia on April 9, 1865, Wilson was attacking a region with severed lines of communications and he was uncertain of this rumored circumstance until days after the battle of Columbus. Sweeping eastward Wilson's Union cavalry then shattered resistance in Selma, Alabama on April 2nd, and intimidated the old Confederate capital of Montgomery into surrendering without a fight on April 12th. As the demoralized Confederates fled into Georgia, hasty defenses were organized along the strategic bridges of the Chattahoochee River at Columbus, Georgia. The Confederate trenches that defended the key bridges along the Chattahoochee River were the final barrier the last bastion standing in the Confederacy. Fought on April 16-17, 1865, this bloody yet often overlooked battle served as the final struggle of significance in the Civil War.Columbus, Georgia was a valuable Confederate commodity as the town was a large industrial center. With the exception of the arsenal and manufacturing done at Richmond, Columbus was a Confederate lifeline providing pistols, swords, bayonets, shoes, uniforms, tents, buckets, and a multitude of accoutrements. It also served as a Naval port and shipbuilding facility. Furthermore, Columbus served as the regional hub for cotton warehousing and transshipment via the Chattahoochee River, which empties southward into the Gulf of Mexico.The Confederate defenders were determined to keep the Union raiders out of Georgia.

Download or read book Baptized in Blood written by Charles Reagan Wilson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1980 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Reagan Wilson documents that for over half a century there existed not one, but two civil religions in the United States, the second not dedicated to honoring the American nation. Extensively researched in primary sources, Baptized in Blood is a significant and well-written study of the South’s civil religion, one of two public faiths in America. In his comparison, Wilson finds the Lost Cause offered defeated Southerners a sense of meaning and purpose and special identity as a precarious but distinct culture. Southerners may have abandoned their dream of a separate political nation after Appomattox, but they preserved their cultural identity by blending Christian rhetoric and symbols with the rhetoric and imagery of Confederate tradition. “Civil religion” has been defined as the religious dimension of a people that enables them to understand a historical experience in transcendent terms. In this light, Wilson explores the role of religion in postbellum southern culture and argues that the profound dislocations of Confederate defeat caused southerners to think in religious terms about the meaning of their unique and tragic experience. The defeat in a war deemed by some as religious in nature threw into question the South’s relationship to God; it was interpreted in part as a God-given trial, whereby suffering and pain would lead Southerners to greater virtue and strength and even prepare them for future crusades. From this reflection upon history emerged the civil religion of the Lost Cause. While recent work in southern religious history has focused on the Old South period, Wilson’s timely study adds to our developing understanding of the South after the Civil War. The Lost Cause movement was an organized effort to preserve the memory of the Confederacy. Historians have examined its political, literary, and social aspects, but Wilson uses the concepts of anthropology, sociology, and historiography to unveil the Lost Cause as an authentic expression of religion. The Lost Cause was celebrated and perpetuated with its own rituals, mythology, and theology; as key celebrants of the religion of the Lost Cause, Southern ministers forged it into a religious movement closely related to their own churches. In examining the role of civil religion in the cult of the military, in the New South ideology, and in the spirit of the Lost Cause colleges, as well as in other aspects, Wilson demonstrates effectively how the religion of the Lost Cause became the institutional embodiment of the South’s tragic experience.
