I argue that sectional reunion occurred, in part, because Americans shared a common celebration of the Christian/chivalrous hero expressed through stories about the lives and personalities of leading figures of the Civil War.

HARDCOVER. $18.89. ISBN: 978-1643131344 pp. 328. The cover of Christian Keller’s latest book, The Great Partnership, features a Mort Künstler painting titled Tactics and Strategy. A fatherly Robert E. Lee, seated on a crackerbox, rests a bare hand on the gloved forearm of Stonewall Jackson, crouching beside him and looking attentively at his commander. The 2002 painting captures a key moment in their partnership: the campfire-lit evening of May 1, 1863, at Chancellorsville. The painting’s title suggests their relationship: Jackson the tactician and Lee the strategist. Ironically, Keller’s book argues a different relationship between the two men. “Lee’s mind, like [Jackson’s], was not limited to the tactical or even the operational objectives in his immediate line of sight,” Keller writes. “The army commander thought more broadly, strategically, in ways that signified a clear understanding of what had to be done to win the war....” (10) In this, Keller argues, Lee and Jackson were in near-perfect synchronicity.

  • STONEWALL JACKSON in FAYETTE COUNTY
    STONEWALL JACKSON in FAYETTE COUNTY Larry Spurgeon1 (2019) ***** … the history of Jackson’s boyhood has become “an oft told tale,” so much so that one’s natural inclination is to pass over this period in silence. Yet under the circumstances this should not be done, for it is due Jackson’s memory, as well as his admirers, that the facts, as far as known, of that part of his life be at least accurately if but briefly narrated. Thomas Jackson Arnold2 __________ Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson is one of the most iconic figures in American history. While most research has understandably focused on the Civil War, his early life in western Virginia, now West Virginia, has been the subject of some fascination. We are drawn to stories about someone who rises from humble circumstances to the pinnacle of success. A consensus narrative about his childhood evolved over time, an “oft told tale,” to be sure, but one that has gaps, errors, and even myths. An excerpt from the historical marker at Westlake Cemetery in Ansted, Fayette County, West Virginia, where Jackson’s mother Julia is buried, is a good example: On November 4, 1830, Julia Jackson married Blake G. Woodson, a man fifteen years her senior, who in 1831 became the court clerk of newly created Fayette County. Mired in poverty despite his position, he resented his stepchildren. When Julia Woodson’s health began to fail in 1831, she sent her children to live with relatives, and Thomas J. Jackson moved to Jackson’s Mill in Lewis County. He returned here once, in autumn 1831, to see his mother shortly before she died.

Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Joseph T. Glatthaar W. Fitzhugh Brundage William L. Barney Donald G. Mathews Molly Worthen ©2014 Ashley Michelle Mays ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ashley Michelle Mays: A Past Still Living: The Grieving Process of Confederate Widows (Under the direction of Joseph T. Glatthaar) The American Civil War destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives and tore asunder the fabric of northern and southern society. In order to understand the long-term consequences of this war, this dissertation examines the way in which death transformed the lives of one group of survivors, Confederate widows. These widows faced staggering emotional consequences because they not only lost a partner and a companion but also a sense of stability in their lives. As widows shouldered the responsibility for their families' survival, a rush of conflicting emotions threatened to overwhelm them. This emotional turmoil encouraged widows to cling to their identities as wives while their social position as widows determined the avenues available to them in the postwar period. No matter how widows felt, Southern communities' cultural prescriptions for grieving shaped the way in which widows expressed their grief. Through letters and ceremonies friends, family, and even strangers comforted widows by demonstrating that their husband had died a good death.
