      abstract = {With a new preface and updated historiographical essay.  Based on recent scholarship and deep research in primary  sources, especially the letters and diaries of "ordinary  people," The Northern Home Front during the Civil War is  the first full narrative history and analysis of the  northern home front in almost a quarter-century. It  examines the mobilization, recruitment, management,  politics, costs, and experience of war from the perspective  of the home front, with special attention to the ways the  war affected the ideas, identities, interests, and issues  shaping people's lives, and vice versa. The book looks  closely at people's responses to war's demands, whether in  supporting the Union cause or opposing it, and it measures  the ways the war transformed society and economy or simply  reconfirmed ideas and reinforced practices already  underway. As The Northern Home Front during the Civil War  reveals, issues and concerns of emancipation, conscription,  civil liberties, economic policies and practices, religion,  party politics, war management, popular culture, and work  were all part of what Lincoln rightly termed "a People's  Contest" and as much as the armies in the field determined  the outcome of the nation's ordeal by fire. As The Northern  Home Front during the Civil War shows, understanding the  experience of the women and men on the home front is  essential to realizing Walt Whitman's oft-"ed call to get  "the real war" into the books.},
