• Includes bibliographical references (p. [207]-250) and index.
• Prologue : murders and movements — Nation building on the road — Armies on the march and the languages of motion — Southerners on the run — Dissolution in motion : the end of the Confederacy — Epilogue : memory and movement.
• The Civil War thrust millions of men and women–rich and poor, soldiers and civilians, enslaved and free–onto the roads of the South. During four years of war, Southerners lived on the move. In the hands of Yael A. Sternhell, movement becomes a radically new means to perceive the full trajectory of the Confederacy’s rise, struggle, and ultimate defeat. –Dust jacket.
