Book Synopsis The Confederate Governors by : Wilfred Buck Yearns
Download or read book The Confederate Governors written by Wilfred Buck Yearns and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of thirteen essays examines the leaders of the southern states during the Civil War. Malcolm C. McMillan writes of the futile efforts of Alabama's wealthy governors to keep the trust of the poor non-slaveholding whites. Paul D. Escott shows Georgia Governor Joseph Emerson Brown's ability to please both the planter elite and the yeoman farmers. John B. Edmunds, Jr. examines the tremendous problems faced by the governors of South Carolina, the state that would suffer the highest losses. Each of the contributors describes the governor's reaction to undertaking duties never before required of men in their positions—urging men to battle, searching for means to feed and clothe the poor, boosting morale, and defending their state's territories, even against great odds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on a thorough study of Letcher's personal papers including his diary. Before 1861, Letcher actively opposed secession, but when war came he served the Confederacy more loyally and ably. if less flamboyantly, than many more colorful and noisy southern patriots. The author highlights the drama and poignancy of the governor's dilemma - that of a moderate, sensible man confronted with high responsibilites at a time of crisis. The inner workings of Virginia politics are detailed with exceptional clarity.--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis Rebel Sovereigns by : Ridgeway Boyd Murphree
Download or read book Rebel Sovereigns written by Ridgeway Boyd Murphree and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brown opposed any Confederate policy that he perceived to be a violation of state rights. He protested a wide array of Confederate wartime measures, including conscription. Brown opposed the leadership of Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, whom he accused of trampling on the constitutional rights of the states. Milton, on the other hand, was one of the most loyal Confederate governors. He supported conscription and embraced most of Davis' military and political decisions. Milton advocated Confederate unity rather than division over constitutional issues. Through a comparison of Milton and Brown, this dissertation will attempt to contribute to the ongoing historical debate about the significance of Confederate-state relations. It will also hopefully act as a beginning for the further study of interstate relations during the Civil War, an aspect of the conflict that has yet to receive much attention from historians.
Book Synopsis Gathering to Save a Nation by : Stephen D. Engle
Download or read book Gathering to Save a Nation written by Stephen D. Engle and published by . This book was released on 2020-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this rich study of Union governors and their role in the Civil War, Stephen D. Engle examines how these politicians were pivotal in securing victory. In a time of limited federal authority, governors were an essential part of the machine that maintained the Union while it mobilized and sustained the war effort. Charged with the difficult task of raising soldiers from their home states, these governors had to also rally political, economic, and popular support for the conflict, at times against a backdrop of significant local opposition. Engle argues that the relationship between these loyal-state leaders and Lincoln's administration was far more collaborative than previously thought. While providing detailed and engaging portraits of these men, their state-level actions, and their collective cooperation, Engle brings into new focus the era's complex political history and shows how the Civil War tested and transformed the relationship between state and federal governments.

Book Synopsis Edmund J. Davis of Texas by : Carl H. Moneyhon
Download or read book Edmund J. Davis of Texas written by Carl H. Moneyhon and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume two of The Texas Biography Series reveals Edmund J. Davis, the heroic man who stood in strong opposition to his peers and better reflected the ideals of the nation than those of so many of his contemporaries. Carl H. Moneyhon presents a long overdue favorable account of a man who was determined to make progressive changes and stand in stark opposition to the state’s political elite. What moved this man to take such a dramatic stand against his political peers? Moneyhon strives to answer this very question. Edmund J. Davis was not only a part of the political elite during the Civil War, but he also opposed secession. He refused to follow most of Texas’ leaders and actively opposed the Confederacy by attempting to bring Texas back to the Union. After the war, Davis was a leader in reconstructing the state based on true free labor and pursued progressive and egalitarian policies as governor of Texas. Through the entire reconstruction process Davis faced extreme Confederate hostility. After leaving the governor’s mansion an unpopular man and politician, he still remained dedicated to changing Texas. He worked to change his adopted state until the day he died.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isham Green Harris rose to prominence as leader of the southern rights wing of the Democratic Party in the 1850's. During the secession crisis of 1861, he used his influence and constitutional power as governor to trample on the Tennessee constitution in order to align Tennessee with the Confederacy; he tirelessly supported the Confederate war effort. When the war ended, he went into voluntary and temporary exile in Mexico, returning home in late 1867. He eventually became the best known of the state's Bourbon Democrats and was elected United States Senator in 1877, remaining in that office until his death.

Download or read book Zeb Vance written by Gordon B. McKinney and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2005-10-12 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive biography of the man who led North Carolina through the Civil War and, as a U.S. senator from 1878 to 1894, served as the state's leading spokesman, Gordon McKinney presents Zebulon Baird Vance (1830-94) as a far more complex figure than has been previously recognized. Vance campaigned to keep North Carolina in the Union, but after Southern troops fired on Fort Sumter, he joined the army and rose to the rank of colonel. He was viewed as a champion of individual rights and enjoyed great popularity among voters. But McKinney demonstrates that Vance was not as progressive as earlier biographers suggest. Vance was a tireless advocate for white North Carolinians in the Reconstruction Period, and his policies and positions often favored the rich and powerful. McKinney provides significant new information about Vance's third governorship, his senatorial career, and his role in the origins of the modern Democratic Party in North Carolina. This new biography offers the fullest, most complete understanding yet of a legendary North Carolina leader.
