'The Great North-Western Conspiracy in All Its Startling Details' is a firsthand account of the investigation into the Confederate conspiracy to destroy cities in the North through arson and other means during the American Civil War. The book uncovers trading with the enemy by Union officials and the involvement of the Sons of Liberty in a plan to free Confederate prisoners and arm themselves with weapons from federal arsenals. If successful, the plan would have led to a Northwestern confederacy and a dismembered North. The author, I. Winslow Ayer, presents a concise and connected history of the conspiracy, shedding light on the magnitude, sagacity, and completeness of the plot, which posed a significant threat to the Union's victory.
When the Civil War broke out, leaders on both sides had to develop strategies for fighting the conflict and considered almost any suggestion. This book chronicles some of the most intriguing and unusual plans devised by these leaders.
In this landmark narrative history of Chicago during the Civil War, Theodore J. Karamanski examines the people and events that formed this critical period in the city's history. Using diaries, letters, and newspapers that survived the Great Fire of 1871, he shows how Chicagoans' opinions evolved from a romantic and patriotic view of the war to recognition of the conflict's brutality. Located a safe distance behind the battle lines and accessible to the armies via rail and waterways, the city's economy grew feverishly while increasing population strained Chicago's social fabric. From the great Republican convention of 1860 in the "Wigwam," to the dismal life of Confederate prisoners in Camp Douglas on the South Side of Chicago, Rally 'Round the Flag paints a vivid picture of the Midwest city vigorously involved in the national conflict.
