Enemies of the Country profiles men and women of the Confederate states who, in addition to the wartime burdens endured by most Southerners, had to cope with being a detested minority. With one exception, the Unionists discussed here are white, but they otherwise represented a wide spectrum of the Southern citizenry. Together the portraits underscore how varied Unionist identities and motives were, and how fluid the circumstances of Unionist allegiance could be.
