About this product

Product Information

During the first fifteen months of the Civil War, the policies and attitudes of Union officers toward emancipation in the western theater were, at best, inconsistent and fraught with internal strains. But after Congress passed the Second Confiscation Act in 1862, army policy became mostly consistent in its support of liberating the slaves in general, in spite of Union army officers' differences of opinion. By 1863 and the final Emancipation Proclamation, the army had transformed into the key force for instituting emancipation in the West. However, Kristopher Teters argues that the guiding principles behind this development in attitudes and policy were a result of military necessity and pragmatic strategies, rather than an effort to enact racial equality. Through extensive research in the letters and diaries of western Union officers, Teters demonstrates how practical considerations drove both the attitudes and policies of Union officers regarding emancipation. Officers primarily embraced emancipation and the use of black soldiers because they believed both policies would help them win the war and save the Union, but their views on race actually changed very little. In the end, however, despite its practical bent, Teters argues, the Union army was instrumental in bringing freedom to the slaves.

Reviews
Thought-provoking . . . Practical Liberators would be a useful book to utilize in upper-division undergraduate courses or graduate seminars to spark lively discussions.-- Industrial Relations, Teters's book is anchored by thorough research and cogent analysis. . . . Practical Liberators deserves to be put into dialog with other works examining the evolving racial progressivism of the Union Army. It is a welcome addition to the Civil War's ever-expanding literature.-- On Point, Teter's sobering study of western officers' lack of enthusiasm for emancipation as a moral issue helps explain how quickly the nation retreated from Reconstruction and the defense of black rights, even though the Civil War became a war of practical liberation.-- Journal of African American History, Provocative and instructive . . . . Practical Liberators adds an important geographical and interpretive perspective.-- Arkansas Historical Quarterly, [A] crisply written and deeply researched study of emancipation's progress in the war's western theater.-- Missouri Historical Review, Effective and well-written . . . accessible and valuable to broad and academic audiences alike.-- Journal of American History, Thoroughly researched and entirely convincing, Practical Liberators surely establishes this interpretation as representing the consensus among professional historians.-- Annals of Iowa, For anyone interested in the Civil War and how it advanced the cause of human freedom in this nation and the world will find this an essential addition to their library.--Ethan S. Rafuse, America's Civil War, A much-needed and bracing look at how Union officers approached emancipation in the West during the Civil War-- Journal of the Civil War Era, Kristopher A. Teters's Practical Liberators is a valuable contribution to the growing historiography on military emancipation during the Civil War.-- H-Net Reviews

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
