Civil War Pamphlets on Microfiche
The CIVIL WAR PAMPHLETS ON MICROFICHE (KSHS microfiche no.186)
represents 1,758 pamphlet titles from the collections of the State
Historical Society of Wisconsin. These pamphlets--an inexpensive medium
in the 19th century for expressing opinion--reflect the generation-long
battle of words that exacerbated the economic, ideologic, and political
divisions between the North and the South and culminated in the Civil
War.
Researchers will find a treasure-trove of primary sources--biographies,
campaign literature, government documents, journals, maps, sermons,
speeches and the like--that illustrate the opinions and attitudes that
led to war, and that war's impact on American history.
A listing of the general topics of the pamphlets follows. Selecting
any topic brings up an alphabetical listing of pamphlet titles. These
individual titles are cataloged more fully on the
ATLAS on-line catalog.
