Download or read book Rebel Georgia written by F. N. Boney and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 1861 a state convention voted by a narrow margin to secede from the Union. In this popular treatment of the Civil War in Georgia, F. N. Boney tells the story of how the strain of this modern, total war relentlessly ravaged the state's resources and weakened its resolve to fight for the Confederate cause. Heavy casualties on the battlefield and accelerating inflation on the home front combined to undermine the morale of the Confederacy and the citizens of Georgia. Narrating Sherman's pivotal capture of Atlanta on 2 September 1864 and his crushing march to the sea, which ended with the fall of Savannah in late December, Boney recounts how the Confederacy's slow death affected the psyches of Georgians black and white. In the process, Boney shows how rebel Georgia gradually overcame its grief and was eventually reunited with the north in a national reconciliation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War was arguably the watershed event in the history of the United States, forever changing the nature of the Republic and the relationship of individuals to their government. The war ended slavery and initiated the long road toward racial equality. The United States now stands at the sesquicentennial of that event, and its citizens attempt to arrive at an understanding of what that event meant to the past, present, and future of the nation. Few states had a greater impact on the outcome of the nation⿿s greatest calamity than Georgia. Georgia provided 125,000 soldiers for the Confederacy as well as thousands more for the Union cause. Also, many of the Confederacy⿿s most influential military and civilian leaders hailed from the state. Georgia was vital to the Confederate war effort because of its agricultural and industrial output. The Confederacy had little hope of winning without the farms and shops of the state. Moreover, the state was critical to the Southern infrastructure because of the river and rail links that crossed it and connected the western Confederacy to the eastern half. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the war was arguably decided in North Georgia with the Atlanta Campaign and Lincoln⿿s subsequent reelection. This campaign was the last forlorn hope for the Southern Republic and the Union⿿s greatest triumph. Despite the state⿿s importance to the Confederacy and the war⿿s ultimate outcome, not enough has been written concerning Georgia⿿s experience during those turbulent years. The essays in this volume attempt to redress this dearth of scholarship. They present a mosaic of events, places, and people, exploring the impact of the war on Georgia and its residents and demonstrating the importance of the state to the outcome of the Civil War.

Book excerpt: "Students of Southern History have made studies of the Secession and Reconstruction periods in the several Confederate states, but they have neglected the Civil War period proper; also most Confederate History has been written from the Richmond perspective and not from the viewpoint of the individual states which composed the Confederacy. This study assumes to investigate the behavior of a Southern state with reference to its membership in the Confederacy during the Civil War. Georgia was not selected as a typical Southern state, but it was perhaps as representative as any other state. There were no typical Southern states; they were all different. Whatever merit the study has lies in the fact that it takes the state government and not the central government as a perspective. The problem has been largely one of collection and synthesis of materials, most of which are readily available to the scholar. A conscious effort has been made to avoid details and movements that would have been normal had Georgia remained at peace in the Union, and a degree of discrimination has been employed in selecting materials which are pertinent to Georgia's changed allegiance and to the affiliation with the Confederacy during the war which ensued"--Leaf iii
