The book offers a profound examination of the moral justifications behind the Civil War, highlighting how both the Union and Confederacy viewed themselves as morally righteous. Stout analyzes the disparity between these claims and the realities of warfare, utilizing contemporary documents to illustrate the interplay of propaganda and ideology that rationalized violence. By exploring experiences from the home front to the battlefield, the work serves as a critical reflection on the ethical implications of war, relevant to contemporary conflicts.
