In this major new history of the Civil War, Bruce Levine tells the riveting story of how that conflict upended the economic, political, and social life of the old South, utterly destroying the Confederacy and the society it represented and defended. Told through the words of the people who lived it, The Fall of the House of Dixie illuminates the way a war undertaken to preserve the status quo became a second American Revolution whose impact on the country was as strong and lasting as that of our first.
 
In 1860 the American South was a vast, wealthy, imposing region where a small minority had amassed great political power and enormous fortunes through a system of forced labor. The South’s large population of slaveless whites almost universally supported the basic interests of plantation owners, despite the huge wealth gap that separated them. By the end of 1865 these structures of wealth and power had been shattered. Millions of black people had gained their freedom, many poorer whites had ceased following their wealthy neighbors, and plantation owners were brought to their knees, losing not only their slaves but their political power, their worldview, their very way of life. This sea change was felt nationwide, as the balance of power in Congress, the judiciary, and the presidency shifted dramatically and lastingly toward the North, and the country embarked on a course toward equal rights.
 
Levine captures the many-sided human drama of this story using a huge trove of diaries, letters, newspaper articles, government documents, and more. In The Fall of the House of Dixie, the true stakes of the Civil War become clearer than ever before, as slaves battle for their freedom in the face of brutal reprisals; Abraham Lincoln and his party turn what began as a limited war for the Union into a crusade against slavery by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation; poor southern whites grow increasingly disillusioned with fighting what they have come to see as the plantation owners’ war; and the slave owners grow ever more desperate as their beloved social order is destroyed, not just by the Union Army, but also from within. When the smoke clears, not only Dixie but all of American society is changed forever.
 
Brilliantly argued and engrossing, The Fall of the House of Dixie is a sweeping account of the destruction of the old South during the Civil War, offering a fresh perspective on the most colossal struggle in our history and the new world it brought into being.

Praise for The Fall of the House of Dixie

Absolutely EXCELLENT customer service
Color: Green
This little guy is so freaking cute and is very well made. The squeak is loud but not overly so, and the construction is really sturdy. Itis stuffed well enough it can be thrown for an impromptu game of fetch. I imagine, if you are a dog, it would be fun to chew on all the different tentacles and drag all over the place. I ordered it as a gift for my brother's pit bull, in the full knowledge it wouldn't survive the holidays, but hoping. Sadly, when it arrived it was so small! Definitely too small for such a big boy, and not even large enough for my kid's rottie/collie mix. So I did what you do in these situations: I initiated a return, stating my issue in the appropriate place To my utter shock, an hour later I had been issued a full refund with the reason they listed being they had sent me the wrong item. I do not even have to send the toy back! I didn't ask for this; it didn't occur to me to even consider it. They just did it on their own. Which is why, despite the item I received being too small, made me want to run over here and leave a great review To make sure the toy finds a loving home with a little woofer, we'll be donating it to one of the smaller local shelters. I'm sure it will be very happy with its new family

My favorite pimple patches
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 2)
I love these pimple patches!! They are so invisible on my face and perform decent under makeup, they're super thin so you don't see the bulky outline of the patch, and they are so durable! I don't have any lifting on the edges of the patch throughout the whole day. SOOO easy to use with the way you can peel half of it at a time, so you don't have to worry as much about getting it stuck on your fingers before putting it on your face. This two pack lasts forever too!! Definitely getting your money's worth.

Invisible, Reliable, and Weirdly Satisfying
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 3)
I’ve tried a ton of different pimple patches and some fall off in the middle of the night, some look like you’ve taped a sticker to your face, and some just straight-up don’t work. These? These are my go-to. I wear them day and night, and I’ve literally forgotten I have one on because they’re that invisible. Even under makeup or in bright lighting, it’s hard to tell it’s there unless you’re seriously up close. They adhere well with no random peeling or slipping off and they stay put even through sleep or light face washing. That alone makes them worth it. But beyond just staying on, they do the job. After a few hours (or overnight), you can actually see the patch pulling oil and gunk out of the spot. It’s gross in the best way. I’ve had whiteheads flatten out and redness reduce without me ever touching the pimple. No popping, no scarring. If you’re the type who picks at your face out of habit that this helps break that cycle. Just slap one on and forget it. I’ve genuinely missed them before because they blend into my skin so well, even in the mirror.
