Most Southerners who fought in the Civil War were native born, white, and Confederate. However, thousands with other ethnic back-grounds also took a stand - and not always for the South. This book recounts the wartime experiences of the region's German Americans, Native Americans, and African Americans.

This text provides accounts of the American Civil War's impact on the lives of women and children, black and white, on both sides of the conflict.

This work looks at some of the historical forces actively at work in today's south, drawing pointed, provocative links between the ""lost cause"" mythology that emerged from the chaos of Confederate defeat, the region's reputation for intolerance and souther evangelical Protestantism.
