Book excerpt: A Treasure Trove of Primary Source Material Chronicling the Role of a Pivotal City in America's Most Important Conflict The city of Philadelphia played a major role in the Civil War as a manufacturing base, naval port, arsenal, financial and transportation center, and supplier of thousands of troops for the Union cause. Philadelphia provided the most uniforms for the Union army, built warships, was the site of the two largest military hospitals in the North, and recruited more than fifty infantry and cavalry regiments. Philadelphia was the closest free-state metropolitan area to the Confederacy and in fact had close contact with the South before the war. However, once the war began, Philadelphians embraced the Union cause. First published one hundred years ago, Philadelphia in the Civil War presents the complete story of the city during America's greatest conflict. Richly illustrated with rare images, the book describes every detail of the region's response to the war, ranging from accounts of each of the military units that served, medicine and medical staffs, and the city's defense measures to lists of information, such as regiments losing fifty or more men, officers who gained the rank of general, recruiting stations, and famous songs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philadelphia in the Civil War, 1861 1865 There is "a theme of martial music which represents the approach, the presence and the departing march of a body of soldiery. The first faint notes grow clearer and louder until, amid the acclaim of trumpets, the brisk beat of drums and with the quick stride of an aspiring movement, the troops sweep by in all the brilliance and panoply of war, and then their tread slowly recedes away." So the Union volunteers of the great American war came, in proud array, along the flag-draped corridors of our national history, passed on to their mission, consecrated to the cause of national integrity. Whatever may now be told of their heroism and triumph can be but an echo of the music which led them on; which stirred the souls of all loyal and patriotic men and women of that far-gone time. Written half a century beyond the days of which it relates, this book is, at best, only an outline of events, guiding the student of our local annals to those abundant sources of information, the numerous regimental histories, official records and personal narrations to be found in the libraries, wherein the glory, suffering and sorrow of war are depicted, and where the names and deeds of all soldiers and sailors of Philadelphia who had a part in the great conflict are inscribed. There has been but scant room between these covers to portray the ardor of the men, the sacrifices by women, the patriotic toil of children in the schools. It was a time of all-pervading self abnegation, changing the fortunes of a whole community. Out of the travail of this loyal city has arisen her prosperity and greatness of to-day. Monuments are erected to the honor of our heroes of the Civil War, but the greatest of memorials is the splendid fact of a Union restored) and perfected, looking out upon the world unafraid, based upon the rock of enduring Freedom, an example for the patriots of every nation to follow, and in the consummation of which the people of Philadelphia had an honorable part.

This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philadelphia, before the Confederate bombardment of Fort Sumter, was not simply a "Northern" city. Unlike proslavery Washington but also unlike antislavery Boston, Philadelphia lay in the "Northern border area," where mixed sympathies led to divided loyalties and to frequent convulsions over the great issues that preceded the war. In Civil War Issues in Philadelphia, 1856-1865, author William Dusinberre examines three traditional interpretations of the war and shows how each has to be modified to fit Philadelphia's experience. In Part I he portrays the fundamental Philadelphia attitudes as they appeared in 1856 and the two main controversies—the fugitive slave question and the territorial issue—as they developed until 1858. Part II is devoted to the John Brown affair and the secession crisis. Part III analyzes wartime issues: the treatment of dissenters, the Negro question, and the recruitment of short-term soldiers when Confederate armies approached Pennsylvania. From this investigation emerges a vivid portrait of the North's second greatest city and its leading citizens—racist sympathizers with the South, cautious conciliators, firm conservatives, unconstrained anti-Southerners, outnumbered idealists—contending with the crisis of the Civil War periods.

CHAPTER m ADMINISTRATION THE uprising of the Northern people, after the attack on Fort Sumter, ought to be one of the most instructive, as it was perhaps the most surprising and impressive, scenes in the whole history of representative government. The South had the harder part, in that it had to do, --to act on a conviction inbred for two generations; and its act would break in pieces a system of government which had been the hope and the admiration of the civilized world. On the other hand, the action of the North must proceed from a belief in the indissoluble substance of the Union, --a Websterian conception rendered into the consciousness of the least citizen, --a belief that must issue in action, of necessity sacrificing fife and property. The Soutfi knew what it would have--the right to hold slaves at all hazards. The North felt that the Union must be preserved--but how and when?1, 1 "Slavery was undoubtedly the immediate fomenting cause of the woful American conflict.... But slavery was far from being the sole cause of the prolonged conflict. Neither its destruction on the one hand, nor its defense on the other, was the energizing force that held the contending armies to four years of bloody work. If all living Union soldiers were summoned to the witness-stand, every one of them would testify that it was the preservation of the American Union and not the destruction of Southern slavery that induced him to volunteer at the call of his country."--Confederate General John B. Gordon, Reminiscences of the Civil War, p. 19. There was a virtual interregnum from March 4 to April 15. The North was not deliberating, "it was hesitating its opinion." During this pause of the storm, while war and peace pervaded the whole threatening atmosphere, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Anyone who is interested in Civil War logistics, wartime railroads, and the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania needs to read this study.” —Eric J. Wittenberg, award-winning historian and author The Civil War was the first conflict in which railroads played a major role. Although much has been written about their role in general, little has been written about specific lines. The Cumberland Valley Railroad, for example, played an important strategic role by connecting Hagerstown, Maryland to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Its location enhanced its importance during some of the Civil War’s most critical campaigns. Because of its proximity to major cities in the Eastern Theater, the Cumberland Valley Railroad was an enticing target for Confederate leaders and an invaluable resource for the Union Army. In October 1859, abolitionist John Brown used the CVRR in his fateful Harpers Ferry raid. The line was under direct threat by invading Confederates during the Antietam Campaign, and the following summer suffered serious damage during the Gettysburg Campaign. In 1864, Rebel raiders burned much of its headquarters town, Chambersburg, including the homes of many CVRR employees. The railroad was as vital to residents of the bustling and fertile Cumberland Valley as it was to the Union war effort. Targeted Tracks is grounded on the railway’s voluminous reports, the letters and diaries of local residents and Union and Confederate soldiers, official reports, and newspaper accounts. The primary sources, combined with the expertise of the authors, bring this largely untold story to life. “Mingus and Wingert have done a splendid job telling the story of the industrial, economic, social, and military history of the CVRR . . . engaging.” —Ted Alexander, chief historian (ret.), Antietam National Battlefield
