A profound and timely examination of the moral underpinnings of the War Between the States The Civil War was not only a war of armies but also a war of ideas, in which Union and Confederacy alike identified itself as a moral nation with God on its side. In this watershed book, Harry S. Stout measures the gap between those claims and the war’s actual conduct. Ranging from the home front to the trenches and drawing on a wealth of contemporary documents, Stout explores the lethal mix of propaganda and ideology that came to justify slaughter on and off the battlefield. At a time when our country is once again at war, Upon the Altar of the Nation is a deeply necessary book.

The complete Constitution of the Confederate States of America and the Confederate States of America Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union. America's history is far reaching. Our nation has experienced times of joy, times of inhumanity, times of sorrow and times of war.

History cannot, and should not, be changed or forgotten out of some individuals desire to achieve political correctness as they define it. This type of political correctness is misguided, selfish and dangerous to a future America. I have authored this book to help preserve America's history for generations to come.

We must not forget our past deeds, or we risk repeating them. We cannot allow pandering "politicians" lacking the courage to defend our history from destroying it. Included are photographs of the President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson Davis.

The naval force. Preparation of some forty-six vessels, carrying about three hundred cannons and mortars, was placed under the command of Captain David G. Farragut, and the land force, consisting of about twelve thousand New Englanders was recruited and led by General B. F. Butler. Farragut's fleet sailed in the first days of February, and the transports with Butler's army left the Chesapeake on the 23th. Butler arrived at Ship Island about the 24th of March and found Farragut, who had been waiting for him around the mouths of the Mississippi for nearly a month.
