  • AMERICAN MANHOOD in the CIVIL WAR ERA a Dissertation Submitted
    UNMADE: AMERICAN MANHOOD IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael E. DeGruccio _________________________________ Gail Bederman, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana July 2007 UNMADE: AMERICAN MANHOOD IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA Abstract by Michael E. DeGruccio This dissertation is ultimately a story about men trying to tell stories about themselves. The central character driving the narrative is a relatively obscure officer, George W. Cole, who gained modest fame in central New York for leading a regiment of black soldiers under the controversial General Benjamin Butler, and, later, for killing his attorney after returning home from the war. By weaving Cole into overlapping micro-narratives about violence between white officers and black troops, hidden war injuries, the personal struggles of fellow officers, the unbounded ambition of his highest commander, Benjamin Butler, and the melancholy life of his wife Mary Barto Cole, this dissertation fleshes out the essence of the emergent myth of self-made manhood and its relationship to the war era. It also provides connective tissue between the top-down war histories of generals and epic battles and the many social histories about the “common soldier” that have been written consciously to push the historiography away from military brass and Lincoln’s administration. Throughout this dissertation, mediating figures like Cole and those who surrounded him—all of lesser ranks like major, colonel, sergeant, or captain—hem together what has previously seemed like the disconnected experiences of the Union military leaders, and lowly privates in the field, especially African American troops.

T OWER LOUISIANA is a marshy, swampy level stretch of country with an imperceptible coast line. No one can tell where the solid ground ends or where the sea begins. Approaching from the Gulf of Mexico, you find your ship in muddy waters, and by and by you see here and there a speck of mud itself, emerging above the surface, and barely large enough to be noticed, and gradually as you sail northward these specks grow more numerous until tiiey seem to coalesce and become small mud islands, and after a while these small islands grow together and you begin to realize that there are distinctly defined banks each side of the broad muddy channel through which you are sailing, intersected here and there by other channels extending in every direction. Twenty miles perhaps from the place where you first perceived indications of real mud, the land will be firm enough to sustain a few piles sup- porting a fisherman's cabin or pilot's hut.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

  • Civil War Battles in Louisiana
    OVERVIEW OF BATTLES IN SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA APRIL 1862-JULY1863 BY CHRISTOPHER G. PEÑA THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES did not touch Louisiana directly until April 1862, a year after the start of hostilities between the North and South. Until that time, Louisiana’s coastline remained vulnerable to Union attack. Confederate authorities in Richmond, Virginia, (the Confederate capital) did little to prevent the inevitable Union invasion of Louisiana. Virtually all that protected southeast Louisiana from attack were Forts St. Philip and Jackson located opposite each other along the Mississippi, seventy-five miles south of New Orleans. When the Union navy successfully bypassed the forts in late April 1862, New Orleans surrendered, never to be reclaimed by the Confederacy. Adding to the Union victory, Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana, was soon occupied by Union forces. Under the leadership of Major General Benjamin Butler, Union forces began their formal occupation of New Orleans on May 1, 1862. There was a strong but unwarranted fear by Butler that Confederate forces would attempt to reclaim the city. On August 5, 1862, there was an attempt by Confederate forces to reclaim Baton Rouge. The battle fought at the State capital turned out to be a Union victory. Nevertheless, Butler continued to fear for the safety of his home base at New Orleans. Soon after the Battle of Baton Rouge, Union forces withdrew from the Capital and began to concentrate in and around the New Orleans’ area. Confederate forces that had fought at Baton Rouge withdrew northward and began to occupy the village of Port Hudson, twenty- five miles upriver.
