Bitterly Divided

Bitterly Divided lays bare the myth of a united confederacy, revealing that the South was in fact fighting two civil wars; an external one that we know so much about and an internal one about which there is scant literature and virtually no public awareness. A fascinating look at a hidden side of the South's history, historian David Williams shows the powerful and little-understood impact of the thousands of draft resisters, Southern Unionists, fugitive slaves, and other Southerners who opposed the Confederate cause.
