| Zusammenfassung: | A study of the American struggle to comprehend the meaning and practicalities of death in the face of the carnage of the Civil War. During the war, approximately 620,000 soldiers lost their lives. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be six million. This book explores the impact of this death toll from every angle: material, political, intellectual, and spiritual. Historian Faust delineates the ways death changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation and its understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. She describes how survivors mourned and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the slaughter with its belief in a benevolent God, and reconceived its understanding of life after death.--From publisher description. |

An equivalent proportion of today's population would be six million.
In This Republic of Suffering, Drew Gilpin Faust reveals the ways
that death on such a scale changed not only individual lives but the
life of the nation, describing how the survivors managed on a practi¬
cal level and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the
unprecedented carnage with its belief in a benevolent God. Through¬
out, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals,
preachers, poets, surgeons, nurses, northerners, and southerners come
together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War's most
fundamental and widely shared reality. |
