because it is central to understanding the evolution of Civil War memory in the nineteenth century. When a generation has no actual memory of the war, they harness the strands of collective memory created by the wartime generation; selective remembering and forgetting shape the historical memory of the war. In the case of the Civil War, a contested historical memory emerged because different groups embraced the disparate collective memories of the wartime generations. White Americans accepted the nations rise to world power, this study ends at the dawn of this new era; imperialism’s racialized world order prompted many white Americans to embrace reconciliation and Lost Cause ideology. Black Americans and their white allies, often the survivors of the Unionist Civil War generation, advocated Douglass’s memory and the Union Cause because it served a contemporary need to fight racebased discrimination and the de jure racialized domestic social order created by Plessy v Ferguson. None of these comments diminish the importance of this book; I would strongly recommend its use in college classrooms because of its thorough research and nuanced analysis. Using funerals makes an intangible idea like memory very concrete. Sadly, almost everyone has been affected by grief and the memories it invokes, even if this mourning is private and not a shared sorrow.

ABSTRACT Determining who was an insomniac at the fin de siècle was more complex than detailing how many hours of sleep were lost. The label was a conduit through which gender, racial, and class-based biases were ratified and produced. This article proposes there are three primary discursive elements to insomnia: the medical, the mass-cultural, and the emblematic. The first two worked together to define the label of “insomniac,” an archetype informed by and reinforcing socio-cultural biases and anxieties. The final discourse functioned as an allegorical index of civilization, contributing to the construction of a popular and “exceptionalist” American national identity.

ABSTRACT Civil War combat trauma remains a subject of interest to scholars studying the social and psychological changes that the war wrought upon American society. The focus has largely been on the South, but if we look northwards we find that combat trauma was too often masked by victory. But soldiers cannot singlehandedly delineate the contours of the emotional landscape of the wartime North. By locating combat trauma within the emotional nexus of non-combatant communities during and after the war, we can better understand the long-term effects of the Civil War on the development of America as a nation.

ABSTRACT Antebellum abolitionists saw children and youths as natural allies in the antislavery cause. While significant attention has been devoted to juvenile antislavery literature produced by adults for children, little is known about the juvenile antislavery societies that sprang up in the 1830s. In this essay, I shed light on their formation, membership, and activities. I argue that children and youths who were involved in juvenile antislavery societies made a meaningful contribution to the struggle against slavery. Though short-lived, these groups were also essential in preparing the young for active participation in the abolition movement later in their lives.
