A People's History Of The Civil War by David Williams

Moving beyond presidents and generals, this text tells a new and powerful story of America s most destructive conflict. In the first book to view the Civil War through the eyes of common people, historian David Williams presents long-overlooked perspectives and forgotten voices.
"It became increasingly clear by 1862 that the struggle was little more than a rich man's warActive support among plain folk inevitably declined once the realization set in. Ultimately, as historian Paul Escott put it, "the decision which common soldiers made with their feet sealed the fate of the Confederacy." - From A People's History of the Civil War"
David Williams is the author of Rich Man's War and Plain Folk in a Rich Man's World. He is a professor of history at Valdosta State University in Valdosta, Georgia.
