This book traces how and why the secession of the South during the American Civil
War was accomplished at ground level through the actions of ordinary men. Adopting
a microhistorical approach, Lawrence T. McDonnell connects small events in new ways--placing
one company of teh secessionist Minute Men in historical context, exploring the political
and cultural dynamics of their choices. Each chapter presents little-known characters
whose lives and decisions were crucial to the history of Southern disunion. McDonnell
asks readers to consider the past with fresh eyes, analyzing the structure and dynamics
of social networks and social movements. He presents the dissolution of the Union
through new events, actors, issues, and ideas, illuminating the social contradictions
that cast the South's most conservative city as the radical heart of Dixie
