James R. Hedtke
“Warrior Turned Reformer: Emory Upton and the Modernization of the American Army” is James R. Hedtke's analysis of Upton's unwavering commitment to reforming the U.S. Army from his days as an ambitious junior officer in 1861 until his suicide in 1881. Born in 1839, Upton distinguished himself in combat during the Civil War in numerous campaigns, including First Bull Run, the Peninsula, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg and, most significantly, at the Wilderness where he introduced the tactic of massing infantry at isolated elements of the enemy's line.

John D. Smith
In “Ulrich Bonnell Phillips and World War I: Finding pax plantation' at Camp Gordon, Georgia,” John David Smith examines Phillips (1877-1934), who emerged as the leading historian of the South during the Progressive Era. During the First World War, Phillips served as a non-military volunteer staff officer for the Young Men's Christian Association at a boot camp in DeKalb County, Georgia, that hosted more than 9,000 African American draftees. Phillips, whose influential writings transformed him into America's most influential historian of slavery between the two world wars, took leave from the University of Michigan to finish what became his landmark book, American Negro Slavery (1918), a work that remained influential among historians until after World War II.

S. Harrold
Stanley Harrold's “The Abolition Lobby, its Development, Successes, and Disintegration, 1836-1845,” brings to light the so-called abolition lobby—abolitionist activists, clergymen, and journalists determined to mobilize the caucus of northern Whig congressmen to propose antislavery legislation during the decade before the Mexican American War. These politicians generally sought to excise slavery in the nation's capital, opposed the annexation of the slaveholding Republic of Texas and the admission of Florida Territory as a slave state, and insisted on the right to present antislavery petitions and to speak before Congress on antislavery topics.

S. Whitfield
Drawing on a broad range of sources—including film, historiography, iconography, literature, television, and built memorials—Stephen J. Whitfield's essay “'If at First You Don't Secede': War and Remembrance” assesses why the Civil War continues to be a historical leitmotif for white southerners—a lens through which they continue to define themselves and their place in the American experience. For them the internecine mid-nineteenth century war remains inescapable it lingers in “the sheer tenacity of Southern white consciousness. “Whitfield considers the “Southern white mentality” premised on the inferiority of persons of African descent.

Daniel P. Kilbride explains how for three decades before the Civil War colonizationists espoused the return of African Americans to “benighted Africa” on several grounds, although often disagreeing on particulars. In the 1830s and 1840s some proponents of colonization openly criticized the alleged benefits of repatriation for the Africans themselves. By the 1850s, however, most agreed that colonization would civilize and Christianize the Africans, halt the African slave trade, benefit American commerce, and reduce racial tensions at home. Kilbride investigates two southern-born white missionaries who interpreted the fruits of repatriation differently—J. Leighton Wilson who served in Liberia from 1834-52, and Thomas Jefferson Bowen who served in present-day Nigeria from 1850-56.
丹尼尔·p·基尔布赖德(Daniel P. Kilbride)解释了在内战前的30年里,殖民主义者是如何基于几个理由支持非裔美国人返回“愚昧的非洲”的,尽管他们在细节上经常存在分歧。在19世纪30年代和40年代,一些殖民主义的支持者公开批评所谓的遣返对非洲人本身的好处。然而,到了19世纪50年代,大多数人同意殖民将使非洲人文明化和基督教化,停止非洲奴隶贸易,有利于美国商业,并减少国内的种族紧张局势。基尔布赖德调查了两位南方出生的白人传教士,他们对遣返的成果有不同的理解。1834年至1852年在利比里亚服役的雷顿·威尔逊,以及1850年至1856年在今天的尼日利亚服役的托马斯·杰斐逊·鲍恩。
