Civil War Canon: Sites of Confederate Memory in South Carolina by Thomas J. Brown (review)

Abstract

created confusion and contradictions when it came to the “Negro ques- tion.” James McPherson and David Gleeson approach ethnic nationalism and immigration to highlight the crucial role that sectionalism played in the creation of Confederate and American national identities. Jane Schultz in turn explores the iconic influence of Florence Nightingale upon women North and South. Aaron Marrs illustrates that the Civil War’s creation of what would become the Foreign Relations of the United States series was at first very much for domestic consumption and, as a result, has the added benefit of giving “a good picture of what the federal government wanted its citizens to know” at the time (205). Lesley Marx explores the South African response to the movie Gone with the Wind that is at once personal, illuminating, and engaging. Edward Rugemer offers up comparisons of U.S. slavery with slavery in Cuba and Brazil. And Aaron Sheehan-Dean provides an international legal framework to uncover “the seeming para- dox of a bloody conflict that was also restrained and balanced” (183). The contributions within The Civil War as Global Conflict exemplify the novel transnational ways in which historians are now approaching the Civil War. Marc-William Palen notes 1. Quoted
