Class Conflict And The Confederate Conscription Acts In North Carolina, 1862-1864, Tyler Cline
Class Conflict And The Confederate Conscription Acts In North Carolina, 1862-1864, Tyler Cline
Honors College
This thesis will analyze the effect that Confederate conscription policies during the American Civil War from 1862 to 1864 had on the social order that existed in North Carolina. Conflicts arose during the war between the slave-owning aristocratic class and the yeomen farmers who owned few slaves, if any, and thus were not dependent on the slave system in the pre-war era.
