Description

A fresh look at how Northern society mobilized to fight the first great modern war. From Gallman's analysis of continuity and change, it seems clear that the conflict was not the great watershed in political, economic, and social development that is often supposed. A concise, readable account. . . . Gallman challenges some conventional wisdom while telling an important and dramatic story. James M. McPherson. American Ways Series. Review First-rate...will be informative for both historians and the general reader.--Stanley L. Engerman, co-author of Time on the CrossGallman has written an exemplary work of synthesis...offers new interpretations and raises questions for further investigation.--Reid Mitchell, author of The Vacant ChairPacks a great deal into a concise, readable account of the war...important.--James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of FreedomA solid book that fills a real need: the impact of the Civil War on northern society.--Robin L. Einhorn "Journal of Southern History "J. Matthew Gallman presents a strong case, connecting on his arguments time and again.--Ruth Bayard Smith "The New York Times "Gallman performs a valuable service in providing meaningful detail of the epic war.--Edward K. Spann "The Historian " From the Back Cover In the wake of the firing on Fort Sumter, outraged Northerners looked forward to a quick and decisive victory over the Confederate rebels. But after the First Battle of Bull Run it became clear to supporters of the Union that the Civil War would be prolonged and deadly. How Northern society mobilized to fight this first great modern war is the subject of J. Matthew Gallman's perceptive history. Drawing on a wide range of up-to-date scholarship and addressing the issues from a fresh perspective, the offers a uniquely compact synthesis of this important aspect of the Civil War. Mr. Gallman's focus is on continuity and change - what traditions the North relied on in preparing for war, and what adjustments it made in its behavior and institutions. From his analysis it seems clear that the Civil War was not the great watershed in political, economic, and social development that is often supposed. Mr. Gallman's investigation of the status of women and blacks, for example, shows that wartime gains, if significant for a few, were on the whole decidedly modest. Nor did the conflict have a great impact on the distribution of wealth. And while "total war" came to the battlefield in a frightening manner, its effect on the Northern home front was far less certain. About the Author J. Matthew Gallman teaches American history at Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland. He has also written Mastering Wartime: A Social History of Philadelphia During the Civil War.
