In this investigation of Confederate political culture, George Rable focuses on the assumptions, values, and beliefs that formed the foundation of Confederate political ideology. He shows how southerners attempted to purify the political process and avoid what they saw as the evils of parties and partisanship. According to Rable, secession marked the beginning of a revolution against politics, in which the Confederacys founding fathers saw themselves as the true heirs of the American Revolution. Nevertheless, factionalism developed within the Confederacy as the war dragged on, and the conflict carried over from the strictly political sphere to matters of military strategy, civil religion, and education. Rable concludes that despite the wars outcome, the Confederacys antipolitical legacy had a profound impact on southern politics.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
As this project lengthened in both pages and time, so did the list of the author's obligations to family, friends, and colleagues. The people mentioned below deserve much more than a thank you and (for the unlucky ones) a free copy of this book, but they must also realize that if such debts can be repaid at all, they can only be repaid in kind.
