ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sutherlong>andong>, Daniel E., PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, All too often, histories of Civil War battles concentrate on the events of the battle, ignoring the larger campaign ong>andong> undervaluing the battle's impact on subsequent events.

Although each campaign described in the book had its unique characteristics, the editors have drawn some broad conclusions about the elections. While the movement was weak in the areas of cong>andong>idate recruitment ong>andong> fundraising, they say, the outcome may have also been related to external factors, including a broader turnout of typically Democratic constituencies ong>andong> the country's boredom with the scong>andong>al that conservatives had made the centerpiece of their campaign.
