Introduction: only bread and the newspaper we must have
Part I. On fools, hypocrites, and scoundrels
Striped pants and empty heads: the fools, swells, and jesters of the Civil War
Don't you think it is time you took off that uniform? Shoulder straps and faux soldiers
Your diamonds may flash gaily, but there's blood on them: a shoddy aristocracy
Part II. On duty, cowardice, and citizenship
Our duty: sacrifice and citizenship
No man of honor shall shrink from running his chance: Federal conscription and individual obligations
The woman hides her trembling fear: good wives and selfless volunteers
Will they fight? Should they fight? African Americans and citizenship in wartime
Conclusion: We are coming Father Abraham: patriotism and choice.
