Why the South Lost the Civil War by Richard E. Beringer ; Herman Hattaway ; Archer Jones ; William N. Still Jr. Format: PaperbackPublished by University of Georgia Press, 1991 In this widely heralded book first published in 1986, four historians consider the popularly held explanations for southern defeat--state-rights disputes, inadequate military supply and strategy, and the Union blockade--undergirding their discussion with a chronological account of the war's progress. In the end, the authors find that the South lacked the will to win, that weak Confederate nationalism and the strength of a peculiar brand of evangelical Protestantism sapped the South's ability to continue a war that was not yet lost on the field.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
