Watts Before the Alabama Legislature, December 1st, 1863 Called by the voice of the people of Alabama, Without solicitation from me, to preside over the destiny of the State, for the next two y, ea'rs I cannot feel otherwise than grateful for this generous manilestation of confidence and esteem. In a time of profound peace, such an hono1 might a ell be deemed the fit reward ofa lifetime of pub lic service. But conferred when the duties of the ofiice have been increased a hundred fold by the multiplied business created by the greatest war of modern times when the clangor of war is heard all around us, and the sighs for our fallen brave fill every passing breeze, I scarcely know whether thanks are due for the grave res ponsibilities with which this election clothes me. I feel that I shall have need of the constant support tand hearty sympathies of an indulgent people; and Ipray God to give me such strength and wisdom as will enable me so, to conduct our affairs, that no detriment shall accrue to' the people of Alabama, and no stain shall mar the beauty of her hpnmed name. Multiplied, grave and casions as the duties of the office may now be, still I cannot deny, 11, Inlet entering on the discharge of its high functions, I feel some such piide and pleasure as a dutiful son must feel when obeying the will of a noble mother.

Book excerpt: During the Civil War, southerners produced a vast body of writing about their northern foes, painting a picture of a money-grubbing, puritanical, and infidel enemy. Damn Yankees! explores the proliferation of this rhetoric and demonstrates how the perpetual vilification of northerners became a weapon during the war, fostering hatred and resistance among the people of the Confederacy. Drawing from speeches, cartoons, editorials, letters, and diaries, Damn Yankees! examines common themes in southern excoriation of the enemy. In sharp contrast to the presumed southern ideals of chivalry and honor, Confederates claimed that Yankees were rootless vagabonds who placed profit ahead of fidelity to religious and social traditions. Pervasive criticism of northerners created a framework for understanding their behavior during theof battle, it confirmed the Yankees’ reputed physical and moral weakness. When the Yankees achieved military success, reports of depravity against vanquished foes abounded, stiffening the resolve of Confederate soldiers and civilians alike to protect their homeland and the sanctity of their women from Union degeneracy. From award-winning Civil War historian George C. Rable, Damn Yankees! is the first comprehensive study of anti-Union speech and writing, the ways these words shaped perceptions of and events in the war, and the rhetoric’s enduring legacy in the South after the conflict had ended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of thirteen essays examines the leaders of the southern states during the Civil War. Malcolm C. McMillan writes of the futile efforts of Alabama's wealthy governors to keep the trust of the poor non-slaveholding whites. Paul D. Escott shows Georgia Governor Joseph Emerson Brown's ability to please both the planter elite and the yeoman farmers. John B. Edmunds, Jr. examines the tremendous problems faced by the governors of South Carolina, the state that would suffer the highest losses. Each of the contributors describes the governor's reaction to undertaking duties never before required of men in their positions—urging men to battle, searching for means to feed and clothe the poor, boosting morale, and defending their state's territories, even against great odds.
