Donald Stoker. The Grand Design
Donald Stoker begins his work boldly asserting that “none of the more than three score thousand books on the Civil War is dedicated to looking at the war's strategy” because historians, unlike political scientists or international relations experts, “are generally not taught to think in terms of strategy” (p. 2). He claims that his book “will reveal how Civil War leaders—especially the two commanders in chief, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis—…
Lincoln's Forgotten Ally
Joseph Holt is a fairly obscure figure even for Civil War scholars. Holt was involved in President James Buchanan's administration, served as judge advocate general for President Abraham Lincoln, and played a part in the trial of Lincoln's assassins, but the details of his participation in all three roles have been hazy. Elizabeth D. Leonard brings Holt's participation into much sharper focus by contending that no member of Abraham Lincoln's admi…

American City, Southern Place
Forgotten Time
This work explores the level of economic opportunity that African Americans in the Ya zooMississippi Delta experienced from the end of the Civil War through the early twentieth century. John C. Willis begins by noting how undeveloped this area was in 1860 when it contained fewer than fifty thousand settlers (87 percent African American) and but one tenth of its acreage had been cleared. It would be the combination of vast untapped resources and t…

The Expansion of Everyday Life, 1860-1876
Plain Folk in the New South
Ties that Bind
One of American historiography's hardiest perennials is the question of whether or not the Civil War somehow marked a great divide in southern history. Did the Civil War, and all its concomitants, trigger a radical and fundamental reorganization of southern society or did the war and emancipation force only momentary and superficial changes in a tenaciously conservative social order characterized both before and after the war by horrendous inequa…

The Black Businessman in the Postwar South
This article uses the R. G. Dun and Company credit ratings to analyze North Carolina black businessmen and their firms in the fifteen years following the Civil War.
