Armies of Deliverance(Illustrated)

Hardcover, 528 Pages, Published 2019 by Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-086060-8, ISBN: 0-19-086060-X

"Loyal Americans marched off to war in 1861 not to conquer the South but to liberate it. So argues Elizabeth R. Varon in Armies of Deliverance, a sweeping narrative of the Civil War and a bold new interpretation of Union and Confederate war aims. Northerners imagined the war as a crusade to deliver the Southern masses from slaveholder domination and to bring democracy, prosperity, and education to the region. As the war escalated, Lincol ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8078-3232-5, ISBN: 0-8078-3232-4

For many Americans in both the North and the South, disunion ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-8078-4696-4, ISBN: 0-8078-4696-1

"Over the past two decades, historians have successfully disputedthe notion that American women remained wholly outside the realm of politics until the early twentieth century. Still, a consensus has prevailed that, unlike their Northern counterparts, women of the antebellum South were largely excluded from public life. With this book, Elizabeth Varon effectively challenges such historical assumptions. Using a wide array of sources, she ..."
