Music of the 19th Century

CONF027  Singing the New Nation  How Music Shaped the Confederacy, 1861 - 1865
E. L. Abel
 Both sides expressed their feeling and emotions in song.  The South sang about the trials and triumphs of its turbulent times.  When the war came, Southern nationalism demanded that the South have its own songs.  Despite the importance of music to everyday life in the South, its stories have generally been overlooked.  This book explores this rarely told aspect of the Southern war effort. Hardcover.  398 pp.
