Description

This book examines Mississippi's Civil War experience.

It begins with an introductory overview of the socio-political climate of the state during the 1850s and ends with a treatment of Mississippi's post-war environment and the rise of Lost Cause mythology.

In between, the work covers the pivotal events, issues, and personalities of the period.

Wynne emphasizes the experiences of Mississippians-male and female, black and white-as they struggled to deal with the crisis.

The political events leading to secession, Mississippians' initial enthusiasm for war, voices of dissent, the disbursement of troops in and out of the state, the home front, freedom for the slave community, waning enthusiasm (both in the military and on the home front) as the war dragged on, defeat, and the ultimate struggle to turn defeat into a moral victory through Lost Cause mythology are also discussed.
