Description
Gary W. Gallagher explores loyalty in the era of the Civil War, focusing on three prominent officers who became ardent Confederate nationalists: Robert E. Lee, Stephen Dodson Ramseur, and Jubal A. Early. These men's paths toward Confederate loyalty help shape important contours of American history, revealing how Americans juggled multiple, often conflicting, loyalties during a time of great crisis. Their experiences also shed light on the complexities of white southern identity, which was deeply rooted in racial control beyond politics and class. By examining the perspectives of these individuals, Gallagher provides valuable insights into why Confederates waged a bloody war and how they dealt with defeat, offering a nuanced understanding of this pivotal moment in American history.
