• W1501580806 abstract "Union Heartland: The Midwestern Home Front during the Civil War. Ed. by Ginette Aley and J.L. Anderson. (Carbondale: Southern Illinois University Press, 2013. Pp. 196, foreword, index. Cloth, $39.50).For decades, popular and scholarly accounts of the Civil War either fixated on the South, or treated the North as an undifferentiated entity. Military campaigns and battles understandably dominated the historical narratives with the woebegone Army of the Potomac encapsulating the northern military experience.In Union Heartland, editors Ginette Aley and J.L. Anderson have advanced our understanding of the significant role the Old Northwest (what became known as the Midwest) played in the Civil War. Their introduction is a model of scholarship, reviewing the historiography and providing guideposts for the essays included in this collection. The essays are, as a group, well edited and contribute to our understanding of the midwestern home front.Michael Gray's discussion of the Johnson Island prisoner of war camp in Lake Erie is as engaging as it is informative. Sandusky, Ohio businessmen eagerly accepted federal contracts to build and supply a camp for Confederate officers, while locals found employment as prison guards. Johnson Island, however, contributed to the regional economy in another, unexpected way: the camps became a tourist attraction. Unionists could take pleasure excursions from as far away as Detroit, enjoying the beauty of Lake Erie before taunting the exotic captives. While the end of the war emptied the island prison, the locale had proven itself to be a great tourist mecca. Ultimately, roller coasters (such as those at Cedar Point Amusement Park) replaced southern officers as the generators of Sandusky's entertainment industry.Julie Mujic tackles a difficult topic in her discussion of University of Michigan students who supported the war but were unwilling to enlist. (A hundred years later, their spiritual successors in Ann Arbor became known as chickenhawks.) Over the course of the Civil War, enrollment at the school nearly doubled, making it the largest university in the United States. Although some of students chose college over military service because of their southern sympathies and support of slavery, others argued that they better served the Union by training to become postwar leaders. Such students rationalized hiring substitutes to take their place in combat, lending some credence to antiwar students' claim that Lincoln had spawned a rich man's war but a poor man's fight. …" @default.
