Politics and Cotton.
Johnson. First published in 1958, this book examines how partisan politics, economic needs and personal profit determined military policy in Louisiana and Arkansas in the spring of 1864. With cotton scarce within the New England textile industry and Free-Soilers influencing Lincoln for action in Texas, the stage was set for one of the most destructive campaigns of the Civil War. 317 pages, 5½"x 8¼", 11 B&W maps, softcover. #0C13504
