| Summary: | This book will explore events in the Federal campaigns against Charleston and the states of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida that exemplify how retaliation functioned during the American Civil War. The Department of the South makes an ideal location for study because three contentious issues between the Union and the Confederacy converged in this theater of operations, the Federal recruitment and deployment of black troops, the Confederate treatment of Union prisoners of war and the Federal treatment of noncombatants who lived within the zones of active military operations. |
