Seeing Slavery in Pennsylvania
The subject of slavery in Pennsylvania, long ignored in historical study, has gained currency in recent years among academic and public historians, historic site and museum managers, and students and teachers in K–12 through college, and it has led to introspection by all manner of institutions about the need to investigate their historical connections to slavery and their obligations to address that history. The study of slavery in Pennsylvania …
Raising Philadelphia
Justin McHenry has written a very readable and revealing book about colonial Philadelphia’s “golden age” when it emerged as the largest, most prosperous, and predominant city in British North America in terms of science, education, medicine, invention, finance, commerce, the arts, and more. Relying almost wholly on secondary works, McHenry interweaves biographical treatments of prominent persons—mostly men and two women—to show a vibrant city tha…
Undoing Slavery
In Undoing Slavery, historian Kathleen M. Brown offers a major revision of the prevailing emphasis in the literature on abolition by insisting that rather than being focused on human rights as an abstract principle, as many scholars have rendered them, abolitionists “gave human rights a pragmatic and domestic inflection” (p. 4) by emphasizing that the violation of the human body was the fundamental denial of the humanity of the enslaved, and thus…
The Northern Home Front during the Civil War
Rebels in the Making
Throughout his distinguished career, William L. Barney has taught us much about the context, character, and consequence of secession, a process, he has shown, that by the late 1850s seemed almost inexorable but never inevitable. In this tour de force, Barney brings together his vast knowledge of the dynamics and directions of secession and fresh, deep research into the public and private writings of many and diverse southerners to reveal the comp…
James G. Mendez. A Great Sacrifice
In this deeply researched and revealing book, James G. Mendez seeks to recover the experience of northern black soldiers and their families during the Civil War era in order to discover the ways they engaged the governments of their day both to recognize and respect their service and sacrifice during the war and to count the costs northern blacks paid out in impoverished families, wartime casualties, and unfulfilled promises. To do so, Mendez min…
American Founders
Christina Proenza-Coles is a brave, ambitious historian, for she sets out to recast “American” history by writing “a history of all Americans because our heritage is fundamentally entwined, African and European, slave and free, Anglo and Latin” (p. xi). By her reckoning, multiculturalism “is the demographic reality of the founding and development of America” and the principal agent of social, cultural, economic, and political identity and interes…
The Weeping Time
Anne C. Bailey opens her fascinating but frustrating book with an account of the March 2–3, 1859, auction of 436 men, women, and children from the Pierce M. Butler rice and sea-island cotton plantations in Georgia. Held at a racetrack outside Savannah, the auction was the largest in American history. It drew buyers from across the South and also an abolitionist in mufti, who recorded conversations, prices, and more for a pamphlet he published abo…
Lincoln and the Military
Abolitionizing Missouri
Kristen Layne Anderson's study looks closely at the ways German immigrants in St. Louis moved from a relative ignorance of and indifference to issues of slavery and abolition to positions of antislavery by the late antebellum period, hardy Unionism and support for emancipation during and because of the Civil War, and civil rights (especially voting rights) for blacks during Reconstruction. In doing so, Anderson offers one of the few sustained inq…

Invisible Southerners
Upon the Altar of the Nation
Harry S. Stout wants a moral accounting for the Civil War. He uses just war theory to ask at what price was victory if it cost the nation its very soul. To find out, he examines the thinking and practice of civilian and military leaders on both sides of the conflict, measuring their moral compass by their willingness to respect the just war principles of proportionality and discrimination as the war ground on and the casualties mounted. By his re…

Union Soldiers and the Northern Home Front
Union Soldiers and the Northern Home Front: Wartime Experiences, Postwar Adjustments explores the North's Civil War in ways that brings fresh perspectives to our knowledge of the way soldiers and civilians interacted in the Civil War North. Northerners rarely confronted the hardships their southern counterparts faced, but they still found the war a challenging event that to varying degrees would re-shape and transform their old comfortable assump…
Civil War St. Louis
Civil War St. Louis roiled at the vortex of wartime politics, strategy, and social change. As the “gateway” to the West and a vital link to southern markets, the city was crucial to Union efforts to keep open river and railroad traffic that reached from the Mississippi Valley to Pennsylvania and to invade the Confederacy. The city also held a large cache of arms and ammunition at the federal arsenal there. But the great inland city of the nation'…

Christianity in Appalachia
Religion has long been a source of identity for many Southerners, and the Appalachian areas in particular have proven to be a virtual fortress protecting faith and culture. Yet, in a region popularly thought to be religiously homogeneous, congregations reflect a wide range of doctrinal differences over such issues as conversion, ministerial leadership, and the authority on which a church bases its core beliefs. Profiling the prominent Christian t…

The Fabric of Control
The factory system in one of its earliest forms—the textile mill—made limited strides in the American South during the closing decades of the slave era. While bondsmen were put to work in mills almost from the beginning, the problem of adapting an agricultural work force to the factory system was one that had to be solved simultaneously with the development of the factory system itself. Since then, historians have wondered whether the use of slav…
