Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the War of the Rebellion, From 1861 to 1865: Movements of the Federal and Confederate Armies; Chronological List of Engagements; Reconstruction Proceedings; Proclamations, Statistical Tables, Etc The Slaveholders' Rebellion, the seeds of which had been germinating for more than thirty years, was formally inaugurated in November, 1860. The election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency was the pretense under which the conspiracy was set on foot. The time was propitious. The country was virtually without a government; those who held the reins of power, with few exceptions, were the master-spirits of the insurrection; the public funds were prostituted to the uses of treason; the arms of the nation had been transferred to southern depots; the keys of our public arsenals were in disloyal hands; our army was so dispersed that it could be of no assistance to the country it preferred to serve; our navy was absent in distant seas. The government was at the mercy of men who had sworn to destroy it! Secession of the State of South Carolina. On November 9, 1860, the shipping in Charleston harbor hoisted the Palmetto flag and the same day an unsuccessful attempt was made to remove the government arms to Fort Moultrie. On the 10th a bill calling a State convention passed the Legislature of South Carolina. The Convention met at Columbia on the 17th of December, adjourned to Charleston on account of the small-pox, and on the 20th, passed an ordinance of secession, by a unanimous vote.

Download or read book The Business of Civil War written by Mark R. Wilson and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-07-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging, original account of the politics and economics of the giant military supply project in the North reconstructs an important but little-known part of Civil War history. Drawing on new and extensive research in army and business archives, Mark R. Wilson offers a fresh view of the wartime North and the ways in which its economy worked when the Lincoln administration, with unprecedented military effort, moved to suppress the rebellion. This task of equipping and sustaining Union forces fell to career army procurement officers. Largely free from political partisanship or any formal free-market ideology, they created a mixed military economy with a complex contracting system that they pieced together to meet the experience of civil war. Wilson argues that the North owed its victory to these professional military men and their finely tuned relationships with contractors, public officials, and war workers. Wilson also examines the obstacles military bureaucrats faced, many of which illuminated basic problems of modern political economy: the balance between efficiency and equity, the promotion of competition, and the protection of workers' welfare. The struggle over these problems determined the flow of hundreds of millions of dollars; it also redirected American political and economic development by forcing citizens to grapple with difficult questions about the proper relationships among government, business, and labor. Students of the American Civil War will welcome this fresh study of military-industrial production and procurement on the home front—long an obscure topic.

Download or read book Shenandoah Summer written by Scott C. Patchan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jubal A. Early?s disastrous battles in the Shenandoah Valley ultimately resulted in his ignominious dismissal. But Early?s lesser-known summer campaign of 1864, between his raid on Washington and Phil Sheridan?s renowned fall campaign, had a significant impact on the political and military landscape of the time. By focusing on military tactics and battle history in uncovering the facts and events of these little-understood battles, Scott C. Patchan offers a new perspective on Early?s contributions to the Confederate war effort?and to Union battle plans and politicking. ø Patchan details the previously unexplored battles at Rutherford?s Farm and Kernstown (a pinnacle of Confederate operations in the Shenandoah Valley) and examines the campaign?s influence on President Lincoln?s reelection efforts. He also provides insights into the personalities, careers, and roles in Shenandoah of Confederate general John C. Breckinridge, Union general George Crook, and Union colonel James A. Mulligan, with his ?fighting Irish? brigade from Chicago. Finally, Patchan reconsiders the ever-colorful and controversial Early himself, whose importance in the Confederate military pantheon this book at last makes clear.
