During the war, approximately 620,000 soldiers lost their lives. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be six million. This book explores the impact of this death toll from every angle: material, political, intellectual, and spiritual. Historian Faust delineates the ways death changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation and its understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. She describes how survivors mourned and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the slaughter with its belief in a benevolent God, and reconceived its understanding of life after death.--From publisher description. 586 $a National Book Award finalist. 651 0 $a United States $x Social aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Social aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Psychological aspects. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Psychological aspects. 651 0 $a United States $x Influence. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Influence. 650 0 $a Death $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Death $z United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Burial $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Burial $z United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 07 $a Sezessionskrieg (1861-1865) $2 swd 650 07 $a Tod. $2 swd 830 0 $a Vintage Civil War library. 856 $u http://bvbm2.bib-bvb.de:8993/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=017371070&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA $z Inhaltsverzeichnis 856 $u http://bvbm2.bib-bvb.de:8993/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&doc_number=017371070&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA $z Klappentext 941 $a 13 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611024235.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515011910.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409052824.0 952 $l UPAX334 $d 20230104035654.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215031009.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044138.0 952 $l DTPD413 $d 20180713024700.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20170427013805.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202043752.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20140415021520.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20130213010232.0 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20090806113132.0 952 $l PHAX277 $d 20090708133753.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C8CC71FA6BFD11DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
