So Much for the "Homogenous" South

This book is an eye opener for anyone that believes that the South fought the Civil War as a cohesive society -- there was plenty of unrest, infighting, secret societies, antiwar groups, and not a few killings of neighbors by neighbors during the Civil War. The discord grew as the war wore on. This is an excellent, concise account of those turbulent years.
