Produktbeschreibung
In this book Durrill describes in graphic detail the disintegration, during the Civil War, of Southern plantation society in a North Carolina coastal county. He details struggles among planters, slaves, yeoman farmers, and landless white labourers, as well as a guerrilla war and a clash between two armies that, in the end, destroyed all that remained of the county's social structure. He examines the failure of a planter-yeoman alliance, and discusses how yeoman farmers and landless white labourers allied themselves against planters, but to no avail. He also shows how slaves, when refugeed upcountry, tried unsuccessfully to reestablish their prerogatives-a subsistence, as well as protection from violence-owed them as a minimal condition of their servitude.
War of Another Kind studies a North Carolina county during the Civil War period and draws broader implications. It is essentially a work of social history - akin in many ways to Michael Fellman's Inside War. The book fits well into Civil War courses, those on the antebellum period and wartime South, and broader social-history oriented courses.
