"Opposition to the Civil War in Pennsylvania" explores the complex and often overlooked dissenting voices within Pennsylvania during one of the nation's most tumultuous periods. Mrs. Stella (Steele) White delves into the political, social, and economic factors that fueled resistance to the war effort, challenging conventional narratives of unwavering Union support. The book examines the motivations behind anti-war sentiment, from concerns about states' rights and economic disruption to moral objections to the conflict itself.
By illuminating the experiences and perspectives of those who opposed the war, White provides a nuanced understanding of the internal divisions that shaped Pennsylvania's role in the Civil War. This historical study offers valuable insights into the challenges of maintaining unity and consensus in times of national crisis, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the social history of the Civil War era and the diverse experiences of Pennsylvanians during this pivotal moment in American history.
