Confederate Cities

When we talk about the Civil War, we often describe it in terms of battles that took place in small towns or in the countryside: Antietam, Gettysburg, Bull Run, and, most tellingly, the Battle of the Wilderness. One reason this picture has persisted is that few urban historians have studied the war, even though cities hosted, enabled, and shaped Southern society as much as they did in the North. 'Confederate Cities' shifts the focus from the agrarian economy that undergirded the South to the cities that served as its political and administrative hubs.
