Purchase options and add-ons

Though slavery was widespread and antislavery sentiment rare in Alabama, there emerged a small loyalist population, mostly in the northern counties, that persisted in the face of overwhelming odds against their cause. Margaret M. Storey’s welcome study uncovers and explores those Alabamians who maintained allegiance to the Union when their state seceded in 1861―and beyond. Storey’s extensive, groundbreaking research discloses a socioeconomically diverse group that included slaveholders and nonslaveholders, business people, professionals, farmers, and blacks. By considering the years 1861–1874 as a whole, she clearly connects loyalists’ sometimes brutal wartime treatment with their postwar behavior.

Editorial Reviews

Review

In this thoughtful, engaging, and deeply researched book, Storey has rescued Alabama’s Civil War unionists from undeserved obscurity. Their experience is now revealed in all its complexity and drama. This is Civil War history at its best. -- Stephen V. Ash, author of When the Yankees Came: Conflict and Chaos in the Occupied South, 1861–1865

Storey vividly demonstrates that divided loyalties and home front conflicts were no less intense in the Deep South than they were in other parts of the Confederacy. A major addition to the literature on southern unionism. -- John C. Inscoe, editor of Enemies of the Country New Perspectives on Unionists in the Civil War South

The book was exactly as advertised and arrived in good shape. It will inform my research on Galvanized Yankees in Confederate service.

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2007
I never write reviews but this one I will write. This book is written about a forgotten part of our history and a part that one of my ancestors took part in. Being a southerner from northern Alabama, I had no idea until recently that i had a unionist ancestor. I have read the book twice to soak it up. It is full of easy to read and insightful analysis as well as facts and stories from the people who were there. Margaret Storey has taken the interviews from the Southern Claims Commission and woven them through the book with the well researched facts about the Unionist and the Civil War. I am writing a book on my family history and her book is now underlined from one end to the other for reference material. Even if you don't have an ancestor who was a Unionist this will still capture your attention and give you new insights into the war and the people. It certainly made me see that it was not a war of North against South but of Union against Confederacy. Thank you Ms. Storey for this book!
