T. Block "And with the united efforts of the Swamp Angels, we succeeded," Sergeant H.N. Connor wrote affectionately of his unit, Spaight's Texas Battalion, in 1863, when his comrades were faced with the prospect of no retreat and either''capture or be captured." Connor was writing about the 600 Confederate soldiers of Southeast Texas who were not destined to share the same glories of battle valor that Lieutenant R.W. "Dick" Dowling and his Davis Guards did. And although they fought in a number of battles and skirmishes, many more of the Swamp Arigels were destined to die of yellow fever, dysentery, or measles than ever met their fate at the hands of their Northern enemies. -

Confederate Nationalism in Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia During
© COPYRIGHT by Lynette A. Garrett 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED To my parents, Dr. William and Gwendolyn Garrett, for their unwavering love and support CONFEDERATE NATIONALISM IN GEORGIA, LOUISIANA, AND VIRGINIA DURING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR, 1861-1865 BY Lynette A. Garrett ABSTRACT This dissertation revolves around the construction of Confederate identity in the states of Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia and adds regional specificity into the discussion of Confederate nationalism. The “hodgepodge” nature of the Confederacy only emphasized the importance of understanding the foundation of Confederate nationalism and its uniformity, not regional variations. Whether or not Confederate identity formation during the war transcended state and regional variation or differed from place to place within these three Confederate states is the important question this study addresses. Confederate nationalism was not monolithic. Instead, this project identifies five themes which allowed southerners in the states of Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia to construct an identity for themselves as Confederate citizens which they believed differed from the identity of their American counterparts. The five themes of Confederate nationalism were the American Revolution, religion, slavery, white supremacy, and states’ rights. The five themes needed to accentuate the common connections which bonded citizens in the Confederacy together, highlight the differences between Confederate and American citizens, and provide justification for the war. The first four themes of Confederate nationalism promoted unity regardless of geographic location while the fifth theme of Confederate identity, states’ rights, proved to be divisive. Within the state of Georgia, Governor Joseph E. Brown waged a campaign against ii conscription and the suspension of habeas corpus; two governmental policies he believed were detrimental to states’ rights.
