Most of these works focus on events and developments at the national or state level, explaining and analyzing the causes of disunion, the course of the war, and the bitter disputes that arose during restoration of the Union. Much less attention has been given to studying how ordinary people experienced the years from 1861 to 1876. What did secession, civil war, emancipation, victory for the United States, and Reconstruction mean at the local level in Texas? Exactly how much change--economic, social, and political--did the era bring to the focus of the study, Harrison County: a cotton-growing, planter-dominated community with the largest slave population of any county in the state? Providing an answer to that question is the basic purpose of A Southern Community in Crisis: Harrison County, Texas, 1850-1880 . First published by the Texas State Historical Association in 1983, the book is now available in paperback, with a foreword by Andrew J. Torget, one of the Lone Star State's top young historians.     606 $aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877)$zTexas$vCase studies 607 $aHarrison County (Tex.)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aHarrison County (Tex.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aHarrison County (Tex.)$xPolitics and government 615 0$aReconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) 676 $a976.4/192 700 $aCampbell$b Randolph B.$f1940-2022,$01768148 702 $aTorget$b Andrew J.$f1978- 712 02$aTexas State Historical Association, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974562203321 996 $aA Southern Community in Crisis$94474007 997 $aUNINA
