Series: Routledge Advances in American History

"Following the suggestion of the historian Peter Parish, these essays probe ""the edges"" of slavery and the sectional conflict. The authors seek to recover forgotten stories, exceptional cases and contested identities to reveal the forces that shaped America, in the era of ""the Long Civil War,"" c.1830-1877. Offering an unparalleled scope, from the internal politics of southern households to trans-Atlantic propaganda battles, these essays address the fluidity and negotiability of racial and gendered identities, of criminal and transgressive behaviors, of contingent, shifting loyalties and of the hopes of freedom that found expression in refugee camps, court rooms and literary works."

Reviews for The Civil War and Slavery Reconsidered: Negotiating the Peripheries

"""All of the papers cover topics more or less neglected, often deliberately, by earlier scholars... This is an excellent read for those interested in American social history, slavery, or the Civil War."" - The NYMAS Review"
