“[Goldfield] writes with considerable authority and grace, and he is most ar-
resting when dealing with skirmishes in the contemporary South such as those
found in fundamentalist churches, country music, and arguments over the
Confederate flag.”

The Civil War continues to fester in the South more than in other
places. Place still matters here and the war was fought on this ground. Its scars
are still visible in some areas, and where they are not, memorial markers and
statues keep that history alive. It surrounds us, not as obtrusively as it once
did, but its presence is still palpable. It is an ill-fitting cloak among the bank
towers of Charlotte, the freeways of Atlanta, and the chic restaurants of Dallas
and dozens of other cities.
The Civil War sesquicentennial commemoration, beginning in 2010, offers
an opportunity to calibrate how far southerners have journeyed in reconciling
memory with history since the appearance of the first edition of Still Fighting
the Civil War in 2002. Three trends are evident. First, it has been a relatively
low-key anniversary. Second, the museum exhibits, the symposia, and the re-
interpretations of historic sites have a common theme of inclusiveness. The
stories of African Americans and women, and their respective roles in the war,
are much more evident now than they were at the centennial commemora-
tion. Third, even with the inclusion of new stories, public history displays
often lack an interpretive framework.
The public receives two contradictory messages, neither of which reflects
the historical reality of the war. One message is the moral equivalency of both
sides. The other is that the war was a glorious battle cry of freedom, a triumph
of good over evil. Lost in these messages is the war itself, the real war, the
bloody war that took 752,000 lives. Rather than raising questions about the
war itself, the sesquicentennial commemoration either abdicates a point of
xi
xii Preface to the Updated Edition
This book has many parents. It rests on the work of scholars, journal-
ists, and novelists. If I listed them all here, I would inevitably leave someone
out, not to mention that I would reduce the pool of potential reviewers sig-
nificantly. Embalmment of my sources in the endnotes is the best I can do.
Some of the professionals whose work is evident in this book are not ac-
knowledged in the notes. Copy editor Sarah Richards Doerries made splendid
suggestions that improved the flow of the manuscript. Archivists in the North
Carolina Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the
Library of Congress, the Duke Divinity School Library, Clemson University,
and the Virginia Historical Society shared their expertise. Don Veasey of the
Birmingham Public Library, Jim Willard of North Carolina Historical Sites,
Michael Rose and Betsy Ricks of the Atlanta History Center, Cathy Mundale
and Karen Jefferson of the Robert W. Woodruff Library at the Atlanta Uni-
versity Center, and Heather A. Whitacre of the Museum of the Confederacy
were particularly helpful. Staff at the Charlotte Observer, especially Don Hin-
shaw and talented artists Kevin Siers and Diedra Laird, and Mic Smith and
Tom Spain at the Charleston (S.C.) Post & Courier offered generous support to
my project. And speaking of support, there is no finer staff to work with than
the folks at LSU Press.
The greatest gift to a historian is time; the time to engage in research, and
the time to reflect, write, and rewrite. I have been fortunate to work in an envi-
ronment at UNC-Charlotte that not only encourages my efforts but supports
them, too. My history department colleagues, especially department chair
xiii
xiv Acknowledgments
John Smail, have indulged my work probably more than I deserve. And the
university administration, particularly Dean Schley Lyons and Provost Denise
Trauth, have supported this and other productions. Chancellor James H.
Woodward has created an atmosphere that promotes both scholarship and
collegiality. It is a pleasure to come to work.
Melinda H. Desmarais served as my graduate assistant for three years dur-
ing the research and writing phases of the project. Her work with the Journal
of Urban History proved invaluable to my efforts, enabling me to devote more
of my time to this book. Her judgments were always correct and deadlines
always met. At the same time, she carried on an extensive research agenda of
her own, uncovering the role of black domestics in North Carolina textile towns
before World War II.
I completed the manuscript while serving as the Fulbright Chair in Ameri-
can Studies at Uppsala University in Sweden. I am grateful to the Fulbright
program and to Jeannette Lindström, Executive Director of the Swedish Ful-
bright Commission, for making this possible. I cannot say that Sweden pro-
vided any great insights into my work on the American South, but it did offer
a relaxed environment and the time to shape the manuscript. Erik Åsard, Di-
rector of the Swedish Institute for North American Studies, was especially
supportive of my project, and he offered several opportunities to inflict my
ideas on colleagues. The American Seminar at Cambridge University, run by
Tony Badger, also provided suggestions for my work in progress.
I have been especially blessed by a wonderful family. My father, Alex, with
his stories of life in Memphis, generated my initial curiosity about the South.
My sister, Joni Schwager, has been a source of good humor and fellowship,
often presenting the northern ‘‘take’’ on my region. Without Marie-Louise
Hedin, my wife, I doubt very much whether this page could have been writ-
ten at this time. She has provided a stability and affection that has allowed me
to sustain my work and my life. The South for her is really a foreign coun-
try. The contrast with her native Sweden has provided some interesting and
occasionally humorous insights.
This is the first book I have written that my mother, Sarah, will not see.
Through her struggles for life and against it she maintained a steadfast belief
in me and a spiritual love of learning. Through her, I learned to appreciate
good books, but especially good writing. May she rest peacefully.
Blaine Brownell is not related to me biologically as far as either of us can
figure out, but he has been a brother to me for more than thirty years. When-
Acknowledgments xv
ever I despaired about the South, I thought of Blaine, a Deep South native, and
grew hopeful for the future.
This book, because of its grounding in history, is really about the future. I
am proud to be a southerner, and though sorrow occasionally veils my opti-
mism, I can see in my students and in my children, Erik and Eleanor, south-
erners born and bred, that a new, more inclusive South is forming. My pride
in my region is my hope for my children and their generation. I dedicate this
work with love and hope to Erik and Eleanor.
