United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.50018Inscoe, John C.2010-06-18Encyclopedia article about Georgia Civil War unionists. Historians of the Civil War (1861-65) have only recently begun serious study of Unionists, an often overlooked group of white southerners who played a substantial part in sowing discontent and undermining the Confederate war effort. Unionists found themselves living in a new nation, the Confederacy, to which they chose not to give their allegiance. While their numbers in Georgia (or in any other southern state) are uncertain, much about Unionist presence and activity in the state has come to light in recent years.GSE identifier: SS8H5engForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia EncyclopediaUnionists (United States Civil War)--HistoryGeorgia--History--Civil War, 1861-1865UnionistsText
