Abstract

"The Confederate Homefront: A History in Documents" by Wallace Hettle, published by Louisiana State University Press, offers a diverse array of perspectives from the Civil War South through 66 documents spanning 1861-1865. The book delves into various themes such as secession, slavery, military accounts, and economic struggles, providing insights into the sentiments of both white Southerners and African Americans during the conflict. The documents reveal intense hatred towards the North, praise for slavery, and graphic descriptions of the horrors of war, making it a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of the Confederate homefront.
