Dozens of articles and several books have dealt with southern Unionism since then, yet the subject still lacks a broad or full picture. Books have treated the subject, but usually only within a larger story, as in my book on southern dissent or in Richard Current's Lincoln's Loyalists: Union Soldiers from the Confederacy (1992), or in detailed studies of particular Unionist events such as Philip Paludan's Victims: The True Story of the Civil War (1981), a study of some North Carolina Unionists. 1

What it does contain are ten studies discussing a variety of persons, families, classes, and locales across the Civil War South. They provide valuable and often fresh insights into the sources, nature, limits, and remarkable diversity of southern Unionism. . . .
