In doing so, she reveals the dynamics at work between multiple parties: former rebels, Unionists, Governor William G. Brownlow, and the U.S. Army officers responsible for ushering the state back into the Union. Since most pardon applicants wrote their petitions in 1865 and 1866, these letters vividly reveal the reality of the politically and emotionally charged immediate post-Civil War environment in Tennessee. Not only were the wealthy and the former political and military elite forced to sue for pardon, but also many otherwise ordinary Tennesseans who had in any way supported the Confederacy by performing a civic function or expressing pro-Confederate sentiments. All had to request pardon and amnesty from the President of the United States to regain the right to vote, hold office, practice law, operate a business, and buy and sell land. ... In their applications, former Confederates shaped narratives about the motivating factors prodding them to side with the Confederacy, chronicled their alleged actions during the Civil War, expressed repentance, and pledged to return allegiance to the Federal Union and obey the Constitution. ... a wealth of information about Tennesseans from an array of social and economic backgrounds and include[s] details about many residents who would otherwise be absent from the historical record. ... Since President Johnson wanted the opinion of each state governor as to the suitability of granting a pardon, Tennessee Governor Brownlow read each pardon petition, letters of recommendation, and commented on each file before forwarding the papers to Washington. 'Rebel Salvation' shows that peace would have to grow organically in Tennessee's formerly divided communities with the pardoning of former Confederates becoming a communal process in which neighbors, acquaintances, and the state's governor urged or discouraged President Johnson's clemency"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g 8. $t Planters and Patricians. $g 2. $t Amnesty -- $g 3. $t Confederate Panjandrums -- $g 4. $t Postmasters, Recruiters, and Other Local Officeholders -- $g 5. $t Military Officers -- $g 6. $t Refugees: Those Who Fled South -- $g 7. $t Treason, Conspiracy, and Aid and Comfort -- $g 8. $t Planters and Patricians. 650 0 $a Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) $z Tennessee. 650 0 $a Whites $z Tennessee $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Amnesty $z Tennessee $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Tennessee $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Amnesty $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807816 650 7 $a Reconstruction (U.S. history, 1865-1877) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01754987 650 7 $a Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Whites $x Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174829 651 7 $a Tennessee $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205353 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Liulevicius, Kathleen Zebley. $t Rebel salvation $d Baton Rouge : Louisiana State University Press, [2021] $z 9780807175385 $w (DLC) 2020039333 830 0 $a Conflicting worlds. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019022433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11BCFD84177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
