Abstract

The War for the American South, 1865-1968 examines the struggle between white supremacy and black liberation in the American South through the lens of an extended war of decolonization. It takes the form of a dialogue between historians who deal mainly with military history and historians who deal mainly with the African-American liberation struggle of the 19th and 20th centuries. The purpose is to examine how the two fields -- military history and African American history -- can inform each other's perspectives.
