- W2329222794 abstract "When the Civil War came to northern Georgia, the region's populace had divided loyalties between unionism and secession, and those loyalties encompassed myriad degrees of commitment. As the war progressed, those divisions grew more pronounced, and the men and women of the region suffered for their sentiments. In the first major scholarly work on northern Georgia's Civil War, Jonathan Dean Sarris argues that the mountaineers' sense of self-interest provided the bulk of their justification in choosing sides during the conflict. A Separate Civil War illustrates the importance of Appalachian Civil War studies. By focusing on the unquantifiable element of pragmatism, he takes a bold, unorthodox approach in his attempt to explain the actions of these Georgians. That tactic is successful as he demonstrates the power of self-interest in the minds of these mostly poor and powerless people. More subtly, however, he forces the reader to consider pragmatic motivations among the upper class of the greater South through the region's small but affluent business class. The examination of those localized motives refute conventional wisdom regarding larger questions of loyalty. Whereas most of the nation, both North and South, drew closer together as the war advanced and effectively quashed opposing sentiments, north Georgians not only remained split between unionism and rebellion, but the lines of division seemed to widen as the conflict continued. Here, Sarris effectively illustrates the counterintuitive nature of the Civil War in borderland regions." @default.
