Just seven months into the Civil War, a Union fleet sailed into South Carolina's Port Royal Sound, landed a ground force, and then made its way upriver to Beaufort. Planters and farmers fled before their attackers, allowing virtually all their major possessions, including ten thousand slaves, to fall into Union hands.
Rehearsal for Reconstruction, winner of the Allan Nevins Prize, the Francis Parkman Prize, and the Charles S. Sydnor Prize, is historian Willie Lee Rose's chronicle of change in this Sea Island region from its capture in 1861 through Reconstruction. With epic sweep, Rose demonstrates how Port Royal constituted a stage upon which a dress rehearsal for the South's postwar era was acted out.Languages:EnglishPublisher:University of Georgia PressISBN-13:9780820320618ISBN-10:820320617UPC:9780820320618Book Category:History, Social ScienceBook Subcategory:United States, Ethnic StudiesBook Topic:Civil War Period (1850-1877), AmericanSize:8.18 x 5.47 x 1.17 inchesWeight:1.11Product ID:SCWJFXNBR9
