Bøger af David T. Gleeson

A comprehensive study of Irish immigrants in the 19th-century American South, this book seeks to make a valuable contribution to the story of the Irish in America and to our understanding of southern culture.

Why did many Irish Americans, who did not have a direct connection to slavery, choose to fight for the Confederacy? This perplexing question is at the heart of Gleeson's comprehensive analysis of the Irish in the Confederate States of America.
