Indeed, Manly, along with the vast majority of Southern ministers, thought the Civil War constituted “spiritual warfare.” In their view, God controlled events on the battlefield, and He would ultimately choose the most just and righteous side. The Lord, however, had not predetermined the victor; both combatants had the opportunity to gain God’s favor or squander His blessing. How then could the South gain God’s approval?1 For many religious ministers, the answer lay in the conversion and righteous behavior of the soldiers. Joseph C. Stiles, a Presbyterian minister, implored the servicemen to “put away all your profanities, all your dishonesties, all your intemperance, all your Sabbath breaking, all your straggling, [and] all your desertion” for these actions were “working mightily to strengthen Federal arms, to achieve Federal victories, and to crush the liberties of the people.”2","PeriodicalId":43056,"journal":{"name":"CIVIL WAR HISTORY","volume":"123 1","pages":"268 - 294"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75445782","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}

Any overt depiction or discussion of the war is decidedly absent from Collins’s historical fiction, but the novel resembles genres often associated with the war and its uses as a boundary for demarking US literary periodization: antislavery sentimental fiction, the Southern or plantation gothic, and genres we might call either “race and reunion” or “race and refusal” literature.1 The last of these are often read as allegories of the war and its aftermath, framing the war as a familial conflict. Authors varied widely regarding their placement of race as central to the war and offering possible solutions for racial reconciliation as its resolution. David Blight locates reunion literature later in the century, though in 1865, Collins’s novel could not yet be situated with its most familiar themes of either plantation nostalgia or anti-nostalgia.2","PeriodicalId":43056,"journal":{"name":"CIVIL WAR HISTORY","volume":"85 1","pages":"178 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80363959","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}

The “quite handsome brick residence” in Cincinnati she stood in front of during one of the stops on her 1870 lecture tour was where she had been directed when she found herself desiring the services of a laundress. The home displayed “an appearance of taste and prosperity,” and Burleigh, “still a little puzzled,” checked the number above the door, confirmed the name on the well-polished door plate, and rang the bell. A young mixed-race woman answered, “tastefully dressed, and lady-like in appearance,” and, with a “voice which indicated both culture and refinement,” directed Burleigh inside to a handsomely furnished parlor. There, a number of books and plants, an open piano, and a fire added warmth to the domestic space. A framed portrait of Abraham Lincoln hung above the fireplace, while a full-length portrait of Frederick Douglass and a steel plate engraving of the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation faced one another from opposite sides of the room. After transacting her business with a “stately, self-respecting” laundress referred to only as Mrs. C., Burleigh ended her recollection with a parting thought: “I must say, that no ‘Interior’ by Eastman Johnson ever gave me so much food for thought as did this one, or seemed to me so significant a sign of the times.”1 While there is much to glean from Burleigh’s reminiscences, her published memory points to the significance of collecting and displaying visual cul-","PeriodicalId":43056,"journal":{"name":"CIVIL WAR HISTORY","volume":"23 1","pages":"194 - 209"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84557597","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}
