Description

Gardiner H. Shattuck, Jr. (au). The first study to compare the religious life of the Union & the Confederate armies. It also offers shrewd insight into the nature of Northern & Southern society. Describes the way that military defeat helped rejuvenate the religious tradition of the South. Provides fresh evidence of the difference between Northern & Southern society. The author’s analysis of the different roles religion played in the two armies shows why cultural analysis is essential to understanding both Northern victory & Southern response to defeat. “A useful beginning point for reevaluating the intellectual history of Civil War America.” Illustrated.
