Georgia's Civil War: Conflict on the Home Front
David Williams argues in the prologue to Georgia's Civil War that for more than 150 years, scholars “have often ignored the South's home front difficulties ... which had so much to do with desertion and defeat” (p. xi). His study of Georgia's home front attempts to remedy this deficiency in the literature. Organized chronologically, the book contends that from the very beginning, Georgians were divided on secession and that desertion was a severe…

More Damning than Slaughter: Desertion in the Confederate Army
Analyzing and assessing the causes of Confederate defeat has become a cottage industry over the last twenty years. Building on his pathbreaking work on Georgia, Mark A. Weitz endeavored to place desertion and its associated evils among the causes of the South's demise. He painted a complex portrait of the Confederacy and showed how several elements related to desertion combined to create a situation that was, as he paraphrased the Roman historian…

Apostles of Disunion: Southern Secession Commissioners and the Causes of the Civil War
In late 1860 and early 1861, state-appointed commissioners traveled the length and breadth of the slave South carrying a fervent message in pursuit of a clear goal: to persuade the political leadership and the citizenry of the uncommitted slave states to join in the effort to destroy the Union and forge a new Southern nation. Directly refuting the neo-Confederate contention that slavery was neither the reason for secession nor the catalyst for th…
