Georgia was one of the original seven slave states that formed the Confederate States of America in February 1861, triggering the . Civil War. The state governor, Democrat Joseph E. Brown, wanted locally raised troops to be used only for the defence of Georgia, in defiance of Confederate president Jefferson Davis, who wanted to deploy them on other battlefronts.

Although Albert Johnston was born in Kentucky, he lived much of his life in Texas, which he considered his home. He was first educated at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky, where he met fellow student Jefferson Davis. East Tennessee (a heavily pro-Union region of the South during the Civil War) was held for the Confederacy by two unimpressive brigadier generals appointed by Jefferson Davis: Felix Zollicoffer, a brave but untrained and inexperienced officer, and soon-to-be Maj. Gen.

Georgians, like all Americans, experienced the Civil War in a variety of ways.

The Atlanta campaign and Sherman’s March to the Sea changed the course of the war in 1864, in terms both of the upheaval and destruction inflicted on the state and the life span of the Confederacy. While the dramatic events of 1864 are fully documented, this companion gives equal coverage to the many other aspects of the war―naval encounters and guerrilla warfare, prisons and hospitals, factories and plantations, politics and policies― all of which provided critical support to the Confederacy’s war effort. The book also explores home-front conditions in depth, with an emphasis on emancipation, dissent, Unionism, and the experience and activity of African Americans and women.

Historians today are far more conscious of how memory―as public commemoration, individual reminiscence, historic preservation, and literary and cinematic depictions―has shaped the war’s multiple meanings. Nowhere is this legacy more varied or more pronounced than in Georgia, and a substantial part of this companion explores the many ways in which Georgians have interpreted the war experience for themselves and others over the past 150 years. At the outset of the sesquicentennial these new historical perspectives allow us to appreciate the Civil War as a complex and multifaceted experience for Georgians and for all southerners.

Very good, highlights little known battle fields.

Tygrafym

This book is extremely well researched and gives the reader a fuller, deeper, and more expansive view of the War and it effects on Georgia. One of the best well rounded full experience reads on the subject. From war front to home front its a wonderful window into the past.

It was informative but not everything the description said.

An excerpt from the review on StrategyPage.Com:

"Prof. Inscoe (Georgia), author of Mountain Masters: Slavery and the Sectional Crisis in Western North Carolina and Race, War, and Remembrance in the Appalachian South, divides the book into three broad sections, "Prelude to War", "The War Years", and "The War's Legacy". Each section is further divided into several sub-sections; "The War Years", for example, includes "Military Actions," "Military Support," and "The Home Front". These subsections are filled with short essays or side-bars on a variety of subjects written by various specialists. The result is a total of over 70 discussions or profiles on subjects such as "Georgia in 1860", "Andrews Raid", "Battle of Resaca", "Sherman's March to the Sea", "Confederate Veterans' Organizations", "Unionists", "Slave Narratives", "Cemeteries", "Women", and so forth. Although occasionally some essays have a "Lost Cause" resonance, on the whole they are even-handed, and in many cases even ground breaking, such as the suggestion that operations by Confederate irregulars in the state may have caused more harm than Sherman's alleged depredations. "

This book is a collection of about 70 articles culled from the website of the New Georgia Encyclopedia that pertain to the Civil War in Georgia. The articles are grouped as Prelude to War, The War Years, and The War’s Legacy, but are so short that the book is perhaps best viewed as a “sampler” of the Civil War. The book is intended to give a flavor and a feel to the Civil War in Georgia, but is inadequate for a deeper understanding of the Civil War.

Most of the significant battles that occurred in Georgia get a chapter; however, disappointingly, very few maps are provided to clarify the maneuvers. Supporting institutions such as hospitals, manufacturing facilities, railroads, newspapers, and prisons primarily located in Georgia’s main cities are recognized. In addition, the situation for unionists, deserters, dissenters, women, and slaves are described.

As this collection makes evident, control of the memories of the Civil War has always been very important to Southerners. Various cities, sites, organizations, activities, books, films, etc have sought to favorably depict the Civil War dating from its conclusion to the present day. In particular, the so-called “lost cause” theme is often advanced. According to this idea, the Confederacy was a gallant cause waged by honorable men to fend off the depredations of unscrupulous Yankees. Slavery, according to them, was a benign part of Southern life that Yankee invaders destroyed. Some of the articles are critical of this idea, but others are accepting.

In many ways the book and the online site are exasperating in their neutrality and passivity to the realities of the South, the Civil War, and slavery. One article in the first section claims that the Civil War was “very much a political war,” that occurred due to political failure. What is not said, is that “fire-eating” Southern social and economic elites drove the political process. America has never figured how to give average citizens a meaningful voice in the political process. An article on Reconstruction scarcely mentions the incredible violence perpetrated on blacks and sympathizers, which continued through several decades of Jim Crow. One author amazingly suggests that blacks and whites hammered out an agreement about freedom after the War.

The book is no more than a very minimalist introduction to the Civil War. Some of the places and organizations that remember the Civil War are not found in traditional histories, so may be useful. To learn about the Civil War and its aftermath such books such as David Potter’s The Impending Crisis, James McPherson’s Battle Cry of Freedom, and Eric Foner’s Reconstruction must be consulted.
