Plain Folk In A Rich Man's War Class And Dissent In Confederate Georgia

This compelling and engaging book sheds new light on how planter self-interest, government indifference, and the very nature of southern society produced a rising tide of dissent and disaffection among Georgia's plain folk during the Civil War. The authors make extensive use of local newspapers, court records, manuscript collections, and other firsthand accounts to tell a story of latent class resentment that emerged full force under wartime pressures and undermined southern support for the Confederacy.Williams, David is the author of 'Plain Folk In A Rich Man's War Class And Dissent In Confederate Georgia' with ISBN 9780813028361 and ISBN 0813028361.
