With Ballot and Bayonet | 75,679,918 | With Ballot and Bayonet: The Political Socialization of American Civil War Soldiers is a 1998 non-fiction book by Joseph Allan Frank, published by University of Georgia Press. |
|
With Ballot and Bayonet | 75,679,918 | Background | The author used letters from soldiers on both sides as sources. |
With Ballot and Bayonet | 75,679,918 | Reception | Martin Crawford of University of Keele wrote that the subject is important, and that researchers on the subject "will need to deal with" the book's content. Crawford criticized "overblown" wording, "repetitive" statements, and "one-dimensionally made" and "too insistently" done conclusions. |
With Ballot and Bayonet | 75,679,918 | Reception | Brian Dirck of Anderson University described the book as "sophisticated" and "scholarly", and that it "is an important addition to this growing body of literature." Dirck criticized how the work does not define what "conservative" and "liberal" mean, and he argued the book has "sometimes murky" organizing and style of writing. |
With Ballot and Bayonet | 75,679,918 | Reception | Mark Grimsley of Ohio State University argued that the "fundamental argument" is "sound", but that the book does not properly "demonstrate" it, with what Grimsley describes as wrongly conflating "racism" with "politics". |
