Le ferite della guerra civile si sono ferite più amaramente negli stati di confine, quella striscia d'America dal Maryland al Kansas, dove lealtà e tradizioni contrastanti hanno dilaniato comunità, istituzioni e famiglie. La contea di Barbour, nel montuoso nord-ovest della (West) Virginia, è un microcosmo rivelatore delle profonde divisioni che hanno causato la guerra e sono state causate da essa. Esaminando e interpretando documenti dell'epoca a lungo ignorati e i resoconti personali delle persone che erano lì, Clash of Loyalties offre una nuova, sorprendente visione dell'ora più amara dell'America. Quasi la metà degli uomini in età militare nella contea prestava servizio nelle forze armate, quasi perfettamente divise tra l'Unione e la Confederazione. Dopo che la Virginia Occidentale si divise con la Virginia per ricongiungersi all'Unione, i soldati confederati delle regioni non poterono visitare in sicurezza le loro case in licenza, o persino inviare lettere alle loro famiglie. Le due figure politiche di spicco della contea, Samuel Woods e Spencer Dayton, divennero leader della lotta a favore e contro la secessione, sciolsero la loro stretta amicizia personale e non si parlarono mai più. Le due fazioni hanno lanciato campagne di terrore e intimidazione, che hanno portato all'incendio di diverse case, al rapimento di uno sceriffo, all'omicidio di un ministro pacifista e all'esilio autoimposto di molte delle famiglie influenti della contea. Le lealtà contrastanti attraversavano quasi tutte le linee sociali ed economiche; anche i proprietari di schiavi della contea erano equamente divisi tra simpatie sindacali e confederate. Con un esame meticoloso di censimenti e documenti militari, geneologie, giornali d'epoca, registri delle tasse, testimonianze oculari e altri documenti pertinenti, Clash of Loyalties presenta un avvincente resoconto della passione e della violenza che hanno dilaniato la contea di Barbour e la nazione. 410 0$aWest Virginia and Appalachia$v, 3 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 0 $aGuerra civile$yStati Uniti d'America$xStoria$2BNCF 676 $a973.78 700 1$aSHAFFER,$bJohn W.$0250816 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bcba$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 801 1$bcba$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 912 $a996447153503316 959 $aEB 969 $aER 996 $aClash of loyalties$92547616 997 $aUNISA LEADER 04994nam 2200649Ia 450 001 9910830597503321 005 20230207230403.0 010 $a1-282-23708-X 010 $a9786612237089 010 $a0-470-48699-6 010 $a0-470-48698-8 035 $a(CKB)1000000000773804 035 $a(EBL)448828 035 $a(OCoLC)441892288 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000340480 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11274436 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000340480 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10388733 035 $a(PQKB)10553451 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC448828 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000773804 100 $a20081211d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aModeling and simulation for analyzing global events$b[electronic resource] /$fJohn A.
