The Long Civil War

An excellent collection of original, well researched, lucidly written, and forceful essays representing cutting edge scholarship that stretches the traditional boundaries of the American Civil War era. Individually, the essays stand on their own as some of the very best work by talented scholars. Taken together, the essays confirm the merit of approaching and interpreting the Civil War era in the most expansive ways possible.

~Michael Parrish, Linden G. Bowers Professor of American History at Baylor University

The Long Civil War expands the range of what we consider the Civil War—temporally, geographically, conceptually. It features exceptional, high-quality essays.

~Patrick A. Lewis, author of For Slavery and Union: Benjamin Buckner and Kentucky Loyalties in the Civil War

All of the essays in The Long Civil War... are thoughtful and break new ground.
