In this widely heralded book first published in 1986; four historians consider the popularly held explanations for southern defeat―state-rights disputes; inadequate military supply and strategy; and the Union blockade―undergirding their discussion with a chronological account of the war's progress. In the end; the authors find that the South lacked the will to win; that weak Confederate nationalism and the strength of a peculiar brand of evangelical Protestantism sapped the South's ability to continue a war that was not yet lost on the field.
