The Civil War Veteran Experience
Soldiers returning home from war often have difficulty adjusting to civil society, visualizing their future, and living out the balance of their lives. Following the Civil War, men, both North and South, had different memories of the conflict and conceptions of the goals they wanted to achieve with the war over. Veterans were not all the same and can not easily be characterized by only their experiences in the war. In
“The War Went On” the editors have collected fifteen essays by leading academics on the postwar lives and experiences of former combatants.
