The detailed stories that still exist about the Shenandoah Valley during the Civil War attest to the impact of Sheridan's campaign on the region's psyche, and in this work Heatwole has begun the process of drawing attention to the memories of the burning. Lisa Tendrich Frank University of Florida The Limits ofDissent: Clement L Vallandigham and the Civil War. By Frank L. Klement. (Bronx: Fordham University Press, 1998. Pp. xxvi, 351. $32.50.) A TRAITOR, A MONSTER, A DISGRACE TO HIS ANCESTRY, A SHAME TO POSTERITY . . . shrieked the editor of the Louisville Journal in June 1861 (71). The editor's target was Clement L. Vallandigham, Democratic congressman from Ohio's Third District. Vallandigham, an old-line conservative Jacksonian Democrat , emerged during the Civil War as one of Lincoln's most severe and sustained critics. Ambitious, self-righteous, egotistical, and an ideologue, Vallandigham by 1 863 became the leader of anti-Administration forces and the peace movement in the Middle West. Arrested for sedition in April of that year by Gen. Ambrose Burnside, he became a martyr for scores of Democrats. Wisely, Lincoln chose banishment as his punishment instead of imprisonment. Vallandigham rigidly believed in states rights, opposed emancipation, and attacked the putative hegemony of New England industrialism. Negrophobic and a Western sectionalist (62), he opposed secession and coercion; instead he advocated compromise and/or as a last resort, peaceful secession. In Congress he engaged in obstructionism. As a partisan, he accused Republicans and abolitionists in causing the crisis. He enjoyed strong support from Ohio's Butternut element but not his party's leadership. In tum Republican attacks made him a national figure. Although not yet a peace-at-any price man in 1862 (117), he was defeated for reelection to Congress. But, his arrest in the following year by Burnside assured him the Democratic Ohio gubernatorial nomination . Defeated, and despite declining influence, he helped to secure the adoption of a peace plank in the National Democratic party platform in 1 864, only to have George B. McClellan, the party's nominee, repudiate it in the campaign. Frank Klement's The Limits ofDissent, first published in 1970 and now reprinted with a new introduction by Steven K. Rogstad, filled an important need in delineating the career ofthe Midwest's most prominent Copperhead. Klement's portrayal of Vallandigham is sympathetic but does not ignore his warts. More benign than Wood Gray in his interpretation of the peace movement, he believed that partisan misrepresentation and Vallandigham's strident and complex personality colored contemporary opinion as well as his historical reputation. Klement's book, although winning critical praise as a biography, created con- BOOK REVIEWS35 I troversy of its own. Critics took issue with its lack of a historical framework of American civil liberties in treating Vallandigham and with his failure to grapple fully with the question of the proper limits of dissent. Others believed that he tended to exonerate Copperhead extremes in opposing the war. However, Steven Rogstad reminds readers of the book's gestation period, an era with its remnants of McCarthyism and the emergent Cold War. As Klement's legacy, he notes the new wave ofrevisionism ofmore recent scholars in treating Lincoln's Democratic critics as well as the challenges to them (xxiii). As welcome as the reissue of Limits ofDissent is, the lack of its historical framework of civil liberties continues to limit its value. And Vallandigham, in tum, remains as controversial as he was in life. Richard R. Duncan Georgetown University Maryland's Blue and Gray: A Border State's Union and Confederate Junior Officer Corps. By Kevin Conley Ruffner. (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1997. Pp. xiii, 428. $3495) In Maryland's Blue and Gray, Kevin Conley Ruffner states that he is writing a prosopography, or collective biography (7) that examines the lives of the junior officers from that border state that served in the Union Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army ofNorthern Virginia. By combing through extensive archival sources Ruffner, a historian for the Central Intelligence Agency, appears to have uncovered nearly every shred..." @default.
