Description
Dieser Titel ist die erste Monographie zur Rolle der deutschen Bevölkerungsminderheit in den Südstaaten im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg. Sie stellt heraus, dass die Deutschen durchaus an den Kämpfen beteiligt waren und der Sklaverei weitgehend positiv gegenüber standen. In einer vergleichenden Analyse werden die deutschen Milizen, Wortführer, Konsuln, Blockadebrecher und Unternehmer der Städte Charleston, Richmond und New Orleans vorgestellt. Der Anhang enthält eine umfangreiche Übersicht zu Primär- und Sekundärquellen, u. a. ein tabellarisches Verzeichnis über die Angehörigen der ethnisch-deutschen Militäreinheiten mit Namen, Herkunft, Rang, Beruf, Einkommen und Sklavenbesitz. Das Werk eignet sich als Archivführer für weitere einschlägige Arbeiten durch Historiker, Militärforscher und Genealogen.
