What is Civil War America : Midnight in America : Darkness, Sleep, and Dreams during the Civil War about?

The Civil War Brought Many Forms Of Upheaval To America, Not Only In Waking Hours But Also In The Dark Of Night. Sleeplessness Plagued The Union And Confederate Armies, And Dreams Of War Glided Through The Minds Of Americans In Both The North And South. Sometimes Their Nightly Visions Brought The Horrors Of The Conflict Vividly To Life. But For Others, Nighttime Was An Escape From The Hard Realities Of Life And Death In Wartime. In This Innovative New Study, Jonathan W. White Explores What Dreams Meant To Civil Warera Americans And What Their Dreams Reveal About Their Experiences During The War. He Shows How Americans Grappled With Their Fears, Desires, And Struggles While They Slept, And How Their Dreams Helped Them Make Sense Of The Confusion, Despair, And Loneliness That Engulfed Them. White Takes Readers Into The Deepest, Darkest, And Most Intimate Places Of The Civil War, Connecting The Emotional Experiences Of Soldiers And Civilians To The Broader History Of The Conflict, Confirming What Poets Have Known For Centuries: That There Are Some Truths That Are Only Revealed In The World Of Darkness.
