Description:
As the Civil War drew to a close, its final battles and unsolved issues left a complex legacy of pain for both the Southern plantation owners and the newly freed slaves. Using letters and diaries, gifted writer Michael Golay shows the impact of victory and defeat on ordinary Americans who both influenced events and were caught up in them. Golay takes a unique perspective by interweaving personal histories of soldiers and civilians with the larger events of the Civil War; illuminating the impact of Sherman's march through Georgia and the Carolinas; postwar life in a devastated, chaotic South; and the promise of freedom for African American slaves. Based in large part on previously unpublished material, Golay provides a vivid look at the aftermath of a bitter struggle, and the efforts to solve problems where answers were elusive.
