A South Divided
Portraits of
Dissent in the Confederacy
David C. Downing
Almost 150 years
after the Civil War, historians are still assessing why the North won and the
South lost. Many point to battlefields and exclaim that the war was lost and won
there. But how many battles might have gone differently had the South been able
to draw more on its human and material resources?(Or if the North had not begun
drawing more and more heavily on Southern Resources?) What if Lee’s outnumbered
armies ad Second Bull Run and Chancellorsville had not just been able to drive
Federal armies back but to annihilate them? What if western commanders had one
or two extra corps available at the battles of Shiloh or Stone River, battles in
which Southern armies were strong enough to force them over that edge? Could
Grant have sustained the staggering losses of his eleven-month overland campaign
without the constant influx of replacement soldiers, more than one hundred
thousand of them black Southners?

American Civil War
Commanders (2) Confederate Leaders in the East
Philip
Katcher
The Generals who led the armies of the Confederacy
were products of the same professional backgrounds as their opponents in Union
blue. In terms of field experience, they were also similar to the vast majority
of Union Commanders-none of them had ever commanded so much as a bridge before
1861, and tghey had to learn by trial and error. Some who promised much were to
fail the test of war; some more obscure officers were to rise to the challenge
remarkably. This first of two volumes devoted to the Confederate generals
details the careers personalities and appearance of 25 commanders who made their
names mainly with the Army of Northern Virginia in the Eastern Theater of
war.

American
Civil War Commanders (4) Confederate Leaders in the West
Philip
Katcher
In the western theater of the war the Confederacy had the
misfortune to face, with inferior resources, some of the outstanding Union
leaders early in their careers. The southern commanders were of varied
backgrounds and talents: some had been sent West in disfavor, others were
foolishly quarrelsome, and after A.S. Johnson’s death at Shiloh tete was no
single figure with the authority to dominate them. Some were nevertheless of the
highest class and not earned ungrudging respect. This book details the careers ,
personalities and appearance of 24 generals of the Army of Tennessee and the
other Confederate commands in the West.

Black Southerners
In
Confederate Armies
J. H. Segars and Charles Kelly
Barrow
The debate over the role of African Americans who served in
Confederate armies has not subsided. Historians remain in disagreement over the
numbers of Black Southerners involved and whether significant military
contributions were made. Nevertheless, offical records, newspaper articals,
veterans’ accounts, and other surviving documents suggest that large numbers of
slaves and freed men served as southern allies-and, in some instances, as
soldiers and sailors for the Confederacy. For modern readers, the thought of
African Amercians serving within Confederate armies seems beyond comprehension
and reason and a paradox that contradicts all we thought we knew about the Civil
War and the South. Readers will be intrigued by the little-known stories of
these Black Confederates, collected here from a wide variety of reliable
sources.

Blood Money
The Civil
War and the Federal Reserve
John Remington Graham
In this
watershed book, John Remington Graham, experienced trial lawyer and auther of A
Constitutional History of Secession, describes the origins of the Federal
Reserve and how the divisive antagonisms between North and South were
delibrately agitated by great international banking houses. After demonstraiting
how these private intrests succeeded in setting up a huge apparatus of the
United States and the national debt associated with it. Beginnning with the
myths that surround the origins of the Civil War, most prominently the
assumption that the war was fought to free Southern slaves, Graham diagrams the
secession movements of both Northern and Southern states, the storng
abolitionist movement in the south, explains how issues were agitated in the
public mind to distract citizens from recognizing that a huge national debt was
being incurred-a crisis that would lead to a takeover of banking and currency in
the United States.
