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 606 $aGermans$zSouth Carolina$zCharleston$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aGermans$zVirginia$zRichmond$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aGermans$zLouisiana$zNew Orleans$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$xParticipation, German 607 $aCharleston (S.C.)$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865 607 $aRichmond (Va.)$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865 607 $aNew Orleans (La.)$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865 610 $aCivil War. 610 $aHistory of Emigration to the USA. 610 $aHistory of U.S. Slavery. 610 $aNorth American History. 615 0$aGermans$xHistory 615 0$aGermans$xHistory 615 0$aGermans$xHistory 676 $a973.70893/1 686 $aNK 4600$2rvk 700 $aMehrla?nder$b Andrea$01660084 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823033603321 996 $aThe Germans of Charleston, Richmond and New Orleans during the Civil War period, 1850-1870$94015084 997 $aUNINA
