{"title":"True Blue: White Unionists in the Deep South during the Civil War and Reconstruction by Clayton J. Butler (review)","authors":"Jonathan A. Noyalas","doi":"10.1353/cwh.2023.0003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/cwh.2023.0003","url":null,"abstract":"Harper and author and teacher Edmondia Goodelle Highgate in Syracuse in 1864, male leaders downplayed their participation; Gardner flips the script by piecing together their likely remarks from their biographies and newspaper accounts of speeches they gave elsewhere. Even when they did not speak, women were not passive. In the published minutes, Erica L. Ball reads the regular offering of “thanks” to the ladies in attendance for their patriotism, influence, and “exertion” as indicative of “call-and-response” rituals that allowed women to be broadly engaged (155, 162). Daina Ramey Berry and Jermaine Thibodeaux imagine how the presence of female attendees at an 1883 convention in Austin changed the nature of a debate about how to respond to Texas’ anti-miscegenation law. Among the collection’s strongest essays is Psyche Williams-Forson’s, which brings to life the world of urban boardinghouses where delegates stayed carried on the conversations and debates begun in the meeting halls. Black women who ran boardinghouses were nineteenth-century American salonnières; they hosted convention leaders and likely shaped the nature of the debates that transpired in their homes and in the meeting halls. To find the records of the political work of feeding and sheltering convention attendees, Williams-Forson has identified ads female boardinghouse keepers placed in the papers. These sources fall outside of the CCP archive, but the work they document places women at the center of the history this collection seeks to highlight. Not all of the essays are aimed at recovering Black women’s intellectual and organizational labor, but they nonetheless hint at some of CCP collection’s stillas-yet-fully-realized potential. The section of Derick Spires’s essay that considers Julia Garnet’s influence over her husband, William Henry Garnet’s 1843 “Address to the Slaves,” opens the possibility to explore the editorial work of other activist-wives. Jim Casey’s relationship-mapping produces a host of new questions about overlapping or serial conference attendance and about how conventions responded to events on the ground. Surely, many more questions will arise as the CCP collection continues to grow and as scholars continue to mine it for patterns or anomalies that can help to bring this history of Black activism to life.

Both units were camped in North Carolina and were part of the same brigade that was commanded by Gen. Nathan George Evans, yet this did not prevent what one participant described as a scene of “desperate fighting” between the two regiments, in which “the balls flew thick and fast.” Fortunately, the fighting was not real, and the men exchanged balls made of snow rather than lead. Some of the officers of Evans’ Brigade were, however, already engaged in a very real and serious conflict with each other. David Jackson Logan, a member of the Seventeenth and a contributor to the Yorkville Enquirer, had noted the internecine strife a week prior to providing the above description of the snowball fight, explaining: “There is much bad feeling among the officers of our Brigade.”1 Two key figures within this conflict were Evans, the brigade’s commander, and Fitz William McMaster, the colonel of the Seventeenth SCV. Following the Battle of Kinston in mid-December 1862, McMaster headed up a petition signed by himself and thirty-seven other officers in the brigade requesting that they be transferred to some other command.

The exhibition, held at Brady’s New York City gallery and titled The Dead at Antietam, was the first of its kind in America.1 Among the photographs was Gardner’s Dead of Stonewall Jackson’s Brigade by the Rail Fence on the Hagerstown Pike (Fig. 1). The powerful image presents a startling glimpse of the battle. The contorted bodies of three Confederate soldiers lie next to a rail fence. Two of the three soldiers’ faces are not visible. Their legs flail in various directions, as if barely connected to their torsos. The soldier on the left is so twisted that he appears to be headless, his legs jutting out toward the viewer as his upper body pushes against the fence. His left arm reaches up, frozen in time as if he is reaching for a weapon or raising a hand to beg for assistance. On the right side of the photograph, another soldier is even more knotted. One leg bends as if the man was interrupted while trying to rise, his arm fixed forever in a cradled position against the fence. His head is almost indistinguishable from the foliage into which he has fallen, and his lower leg blends into the figure beside him. He still wears his hat. In the center of the group lies the only soldier whose face we might recognize. The agony of death demonstrated in the soldier’s twisted expression means that any small relief the viewer might","PeriodicalId":43056,"journal":{"name":"CIVIL WAR HISTORY","volume":"7 1","pages":"41 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89753711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
