It examines the mobilization, recruitment, management, politics, costs, and experience of war from the perspective of the home front, with special attention to the ways the war affected the ideas, identities, interests, and issues shaping people's lives, and vice versa. The book looks closely at people's responses to war's demands, whether in supporting the Union cause or opposing it, and it measures the ways the war transformed society and economy or simply reconfirmed ideas and reinforced practices already underway. As \u003ci\u003eThe Northern Home Front during the Civil War\u003c\/i\u003e reveals, issues and concerns of emancipation, conscription, civil liberties, economic policies and practices, religion, party politics, war management, popular culture, and work were all part of what Lincoln rightly termed \"a People's Contest\" and as much as the armies in the field determined the outcome of the nation's ordeal by fire. As \u003ci\u003eThe Northern Home Front during the Civil War \u003c\/i\u003eshows, understanding the experience of the women and men on the home front is essential to realizing Walt Whitman's oft-quoted call to get \"the real war\" into the books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface to the Fordham University Press Edition\u003c\/i\u003e   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e  xv\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter One\u003c\/b\u003e: Communities on the Verge of War   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Two\u003c\/b\u003e: The Secession Crisis   13\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Three\u003c\/b\u003e: Fort Sumter and the Patriotic Response   23\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Four\u003c\/b\u003e: Rallying to the Colors   33\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Five\u003c\/b\u003e: Soldiers and Civilians as Neighbors   43\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Six\u003c\/b\u003e: Incomplete Families   53\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Seven\u003c\/b\u003e: Pastimes with Purpose   67\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Eight\u003c\/b\u003e: Knowing War   79\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Nine\u003c\/b\u003e: Paying for the War   91\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Ten\u003c\/b\u003e: Producing for the War   105\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Eleven\u003c\/b\u003e: Politics and Dissent   119\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Twelve\u003c\/b\u003e: Emancipation, Conscription, and Dissent   133\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter Thirteen\u003c\/b\u003e: Th e Transition from War to Peace   147\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  161\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliographic Essay\u003c\/i\u003e   215\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  231\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eA photo essay follows p. 118.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52619263672600,"sku":"9781531501938","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-northern-home-front-during-the-civil-war-paperback-softback-9781531501938","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
