Southern Diaspora: How the Great Migrations of Black and White Southerners Transformed America

Grossman’s rich, detailed analysis of black migration to Chicago during World War I and its aftermath brilliantly captures the cultural meaning of the movement.

A county in the south declares its neutrality in the Civil War and then secedes from the state. Southern men turn their backs on their secessionist neighbors and form their own Union regiment. A slave-owning minister heads an underground pro-Union movement. "As I shared tidbits of my research findings with friends, most were surprised to hear conventional knowledge about the Civil War turned upside down." -- Author Don Umphrey from the Introduction.
