Reviews
McCaslin poignantly reminds us that the Confederacy, despite its avowed commitment to democracy and liberty, harbored many citizens who were willing, even eager, to viciously crush dissent., This lucidly written book explores unflinchingly what one witness called the 'darkest corner of the Confederacy.'

Synopsis
Winner of the Coral Horton Tullis Memorial Book Prize and a Certificate of Commendation from the American Association for State and Local History In the early morning hours of October 1, 1862, state militia arrested more than two hundred alleged Unionists from five North Texas counties and brought them to Gainesville, the seat of Cooke County. In the ensuing days, at least forty-four of the prisoners were hanged, and several other men were lynched in neighboring communities. This event proved to be the grisly climax of a heritage of violence and vigilantism in North Texas that began before the Civil War and lasted long afterward. Until relatively recently, a legacy of silence restricted historical writing on the Great Hanging. In the first systematic treatment of this important event, Richard B. McCaslin also sheds much light on the tensions produced in southern society by the Civil War, the nature of disaffection in the Confederacy, and the American vigilante tradition.

- l***l (26)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping cost was beyond reasonable. The packaging was phenomenal. Completely perfect when it arrived. Better than it looked in the pictures. And they were willing to lower the price, giving me an excellent deal. It's the Goodwill! They pretty much have almost anything and everything that you're looking for. But if you're going to pick one to look through first, this is the place. Thank you again Regina.
