| Abstract | From back cover: "Examines the role of the German minority in the American South during the Civil War. In a comparative analysis of German civic leaders, businessmen, militia officers, and blockade runners in Charleston, New Orleans, and Richmond, it reveals a German immigrant population which not only largely supported slavery, but was also heavily involved in fighting the war. A detailed appendix includes an extensive survey of primary and secondary sources, including tables listing the members of the all-German units in Virginia, South Carolina, and Louisiana, with names, place of origin, rank, occupation, income, and number of slaves owned." |
