  • Dere never wuz a war like dis war’

    Open AccessS-M GrantARTICLESlavery and Abolition2022

    The value of the interviews conducted with the formerly enslaved of America’s South by the Federal Writers’ Project in the 1930s can tell us much not just about antebellum enslavement but about the long-term emotional impact for families and individuals of the Civil War. They can provide a different perspective from the immediate responses to the war experience that scholars whose focus is on the refugee experience, the refugee camps, and the hea…

  • J. Matthew Gallman. Defining Duty in the Civil War

    S-M GrantARTICLEThe American Historical Review2016

    “We all know what the war fever is in our young men,” observed the noted author Oliver Wendell Holmes in The Atlantic Monthly in September of 1861. “Patriotism is the fire of it, no doubt,” he went on, “but this is fed with fuel of all sorts.” And the focus of J. Matthew Gallman’s finely crafted study, Defining Duty in the Civil War: Personal Choice, Popular Culture, and the Union Home Front, is the essence of that fuel: namely, the “printed advi…

  • Mortal in this season

    S-M GrantARTICLESocial History of Medicine2014Cited by: 1References: 1

    The impact of the American Civil War on medical modernisation is increasingly being recognised, yet the ways in which the Civil War challenged and changed doctors' understanding of their professional role during the war remains underappreciated. By juxtaposing Union doctors' personal and professional responses to the Civil War with the wider public reaction to Union medical care, this paper explores the tensions that arose between the public and …

  • Jim Downs, Sick from Freedom

    S-M GrantARTICLESocial History of Medicine2012

    For a conflict that, arguably, represented one of the first examples of modern warfare, America's Civil War remains stuck in a time warp as far as its medical history is concerned. Accepting that its timing, pre-asepsis, on the cusp of the discovery of germ theory, was truly unfortunate for many soldiers and civilians, it remains the case that the broader implications of warfare on a national scale, including the impact of conflict on non-combata…

  • The Charter of its Birthright

    Open AccessSusan Grant, M Grant et al.ARTICLENations and Nationalism1998Cited by: 1References: 13

    This article examines the role of warfare in the development of American nationalism, focusing in particular on the American Civil War (1861–5). The American response to warfare, and especially to the two major conflicts that created and consolidated the American nation ‐the Revolution and the Civil War ‐ is revealing in terms of how Americans went about the process of defining themselves as a nation. Evidence is offered here of how nineteenthcen…
