Practically all Civil War historians agree that after the fall of Atlanta in September 1864 and Lincoln’s triumphant reelection in November, the South had no remaining chance to make good its independence. The Collapse of the Confederacy collects six essays that explore how popular expectations, national strategy, battlefield performance, and Confederate nationalism affected Confederate actions during the final months of the conflict.
