Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details developments in Alabama during the American Civil War. The text begins by focusing on the threat to the lower counties from Union forces, and then pivots to describe the ways the Confederate government and the state government interacted to raise troops for the Confederate army. The author also includes an account of the ways in which enslaved African Americans were coerced into working to support both the state's efforts and those of the Confederate government. The desperate efforts of the Confederate government and Alabama state government are vividly contrasted with the descriptions of the strong patriotism shown by the people of Alabama. The author uses this contrast to shed light on the broader themes of the Civil War, including the struggle for states' rights, the role of slavery, and the human toll of the conflict.
