Description

This work is the primary monograph which closely examines the role of the German minority within the American South right through the Civil War. In a comparative analysis of German civic leaders, businessmen, militia officers and blockade runners in Charleston, New Orleans and Richmond, it reveals a German immigrant population which not only in large part supported slavery, but was once also heavily fascinated with fighting the war. A detailed appendix includes an extensive survey of number one and secondary sources, including tables listing the members of the all-German units in Virginia, South Carolina and Louisiana, with names, native land, rank, occupation, source of revenue, and choice of slaves owned. This book is a highly useful reference work for historians, military scholars and genealogists conducting research on Germans within the American Civil War and the American South.
