The Confederate War

Ever since the civilian War ended there have been numerous deems written regarding the reasons wherefore the Confederacy mazed the war. Most of these books seem to believe that the Confederacy mazed the war because they lacked the desire to gain. In Gary Gallaghers The companion War, Gallagher offers a antithetical reason for the Confederacy loss than most books written about the Confederate War.Gallagher has thoroughly researched newspapers, diaries, books and historical documents which support his argument that the Confederate War was lost due to a lack of sound military planning and non the widely known thought that the Confederacy lacked the desire to win the war. many another(prenominal) historians believe that the Confederacy failed to succeed due to failed alliances within the confederacy. Gallagher states in his book that Historians argue that the confederates lacked sufficient will to win the war, never developed a buckram collective topic identity and pursued a damage military strategy that wasted precious manpower. (Gallagher, 1997, p.3) Gallagher argues that the South had a strong desire to win the war and a strong sense of national togetherness but what was lacking was a good military strategy to win the civilian War. Gallagher has provided proof of his arguments through his vast amounts of research that the Confederate soldiers had a strong desire to win and the people did ban together with a sense of national pride. He also shows that they did have a swooning military plan. I believe that Gallaghers book offers a incomparable look at the urbane War. He adds a different eddy to the contemporary commemorateing of the events and people involved in the Confederate War.I think anyone wanting to learn about a different aspect of the Civil War would find this book thought-provoking and insightful. I believe anyone canvas the Civil War would benefit from learning about this authors different smear of view. Gallaghers book offers a u nique look at the Civil War from the Confederate point of view. He quotes newspaper articles, private earn and diaries from and about the Confederate soldiers during the war which I found inspiring and for certain led me to value Gallaghers insights. After reading this book I find myself agreeing with Gallaghers point of view, he offers a very convince argument.
