About This Item
New York:: Macmillan,, 1924.. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine bright copy in clue cloth binding in a Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with a tear to the spine fold. In a book that has served as a standard source for generations of Civil War scholars, Albert Burton Moore uses conscription to illustrate a central paradox of the Confederacy-in order to protect its commitment to states rights, the Confederacy was forced to adopt tactics of centralized government. He examines the system's daily operations, troublesome substitution and exemption procedures, and ultimate collapse. Although he credits Confederate conscription with a high degree of success, he blames it for causing dissension between state and national officials and for creating bureaucratic problems of colossal proportions.
