In this Issue
The Journal of the Civil War Era publishes work on issues raised by the sectional crisis, war, Reconstruction, and memory of the country’s signal conflict, while bringing fresh understanding to the struggles that defined the period, and by extension, the course of American history in the nineteenth century. Started in 2011 by UNC Press and founding editor William A. Blair, the journal is published in association with the George and Ann Richards Civil War Era Center at Penn State University and is the official publication of the Society of Civil War Historians.
Kate Masur, Professor of History at Northwestern University, and Gregory Downs, Professor of History at the University of California, Davis, serve as Editors.
