Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the long-term effects of the American Civil War, with a particular focus on the loss of young men and its impact on the racial quality of the South. Drawing on detailed analysis of military records from Rockbridge County, Virginia, and Cobb County, Georgia, the authors argue that the war's profound impact was due to the heavy losses among the best and brightest of the young male population. The loss of these men, the authors suggest, produced a subsequent 'contra-selection' that resulted in a decline in the overall quality of the Southern gene pool. This loss was felt across society, from the leadership class to farmers and workers. In exploring the devastating impact of the war on Southern manhood, this meticulously researched book contributes to the broader understanding of the social and human costs of war. It is an especially important read for those interested in American history, the Civil War, and the long-term effects of conflict on society.
