Mulford Associate Professor of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT During the four years of the American Civil War, the twenty-three states that comprised the Union initiated one of the most unprecedented social transformations in U.S. History, mobilizing the Union Army. Strangely, scholars have yet to explore Civil War mobilization in a comprehensive way. Mobilization was a multi-tiered process whereby local communities organized, officered, armed, equipped, and fed soldiers before sending them to the front. It was a four-year progression that required the simultaneous participation of legislative action, military administration, benevolent voluntarism, and industrial productivity to function properly. Perhaps more than any other area of the North, cities most dramatically felt the affects of this transition to war. Generally, scholars have given areas of the urban North low marks. Statistics refute pessimistic conclusions; northern cities appeared to provide a higher percentage than the North as a whole.

Dabei gab es aber schon vor 1933 eine parlamentarische Erfahrungsbasis, die von den Akteuren 1848 hart erkämpft wurde. Vor allem das Wirken deutscher Revolutionäre wie Carl Schurz, Friedrich Hecker, Gustav Struve und Franz Sigel in Amerika ist hier weitestgehend unbekannt. Deshalb ist das Denkmal für die sogenannten Forty- Eighters eine große Chance an die wechselseitige Einflussnahme beim Aufbau stabiler Demokratien auf beiden Seiten des Ozeans zu erinnern.“ Der damalige Chef des Bundespräsidialamtes, David Gill, schrieb mir: „Es liegt dem Bundespräsidenten sehr am Herzen, das Bewusstsein für die gemeinsame Freiheits- und Demokratietradition der USA und Deutschlands aufrechtzuerhalten.“ Weiter bekundeten Sympathie für das Projekt u.a.

BURT Former Assistant Inspector General, National Guard, State of New York. Editbd by thb STATE HISTORIAN, and Issued as War op the Rebellion Series—Bulletin, No. 1. — PREFACE. WHILE serving in the military establishment of the State of New York during the war of 1861-65 and later in all about eight years— I kept occasional notes of such events and transactions as I had any connection or acquaintance with, and copies of printed reports and other literature pertaining to military matters. I had then no formulated purpose as to the future use for these data. After the war ended I frequently urged upon Governor Morgan the preparation by some competent literary man of an account of the remarkable military accomplishment by the State of New York, during his second administration in 1861-62; saying that, both from a public and a personal view, he could well afford to pay liberally for such a permanent record. I think he did engage Dr. Cornelius R. Agnew of this city, who had been a member of. his staff in 1859-60, to prepare such an account, but for some reason it was never done, nor was I ever called upon for my data, which I had placed at the Governor's disposal.
