Excerpt from Proceedings of the Convention of Loyal Leagues: Held at Mechanics Hall, Utica, Tuesday, 26 May, 1863; Reported for the Convention The main body of Mechanics Hall was nearly filled at the appointed hour on the morning of Tuesday, 26th May, with delegates and prominent men from various sections of the State, constituting as intelligent and earnest an assemblage as ever gathered in Convention in the Empire State. The Hall was appropriately and handsomely decorated with the Stars and Stripes, and mottoed banners brought in by the representatives of the Loyal Leagues. Over the center of the platform hung gracefully the starry folds, and above, the motto: Sustain our brave soldiers. On the left A common union to maintain the power, glory, and integrity of the Nation. On the right was represented the American eagle on a shield, beaking a wriggling Copperhead. Suspended from the center of the dome was a prism of banners - one inscribed with the latter of the above mottoes. The second had No fire in the rear. The third, three sentiments, as follows: No compro mise with traitors - No neutrals in the war - The flag of our union shall float over Sumter. Other mottoes, in addition to repetitions of those we have mentioned, were these: Pledged to unconditional loyalty One flag, one country, one destiny. Pledged to maintain the national unity.

During the Civil War, Northerners fought each other in elections with almost as much zeal as they fought Southern rebels on the battlefield. Yet politicians and voters alike claimed that partisanship was dangerous in a time of national crisis. In No Party Now, Adam I. P. Smith challenges the prevailing view that political processes in the North somehow helped the Union be more stable and effective in the war. Instead, Smith argues, early efforts to suspend party politics collapsed in the face of divisions over slavery and the purpose of the war. At the same time, new contexts for political mobilization, such as the army and the avowedly non-partisan Union Leagues, undermined conventional partisan practices. The administration's supporters soon used the power of anti-party discourse to their advantage by connecting their own antislavery arguments to a powerful nationalist ideology. By the time of the 1864 election they sought to de-legitimize partisan opposition with slogans like "No Party Now But All For Our Country!" No Party Now offers a reinterpretation of Northern wartime politics that challenges the "party period paradigm" in American political history and reveals the many ways in which the unique circumstances of war altered the political calculations and behavior of politicians and voters alike. As Smith shows, beneath the superficial unity lay profound differences about the implications of the war for the kind of nation that the United States was to become.

While many Civil War reference books exist, there is no single compendium that contains important details about the combatant states (and territories) that Civil War researchers can readily access for their work. People looking for information about the organizations, activities, economies, demographics, and prominent personalities of Civil War states and state governments must assemble data from a variety of sources, with many key sources remaining unavailable online. This volume provides a crucial reference book for Civil War scholars and historians, professional or amateur, seeking information about New York during the war. Its principal sources include the Official Records, state adjutant general reports, legislative journals, state and federal legislation, executive speeches and proclamations on the federal and state levels, and the general and special orders issued by the military authorities of both governments, North and South. Designed and organized for easy use, this book can be read in two ways: by individual state, with each chapter offering a stand-alone history of an individual state's war years; or across states, comparing reactions to the same event or solutions to the same problems.
