{"product_id":"a-nation-unraveled-sarah-jones-weicksel-9781469689142","title":"A Nation Unraveled: Clothing, Culture, and Violence in the American Civil War Era","description":"During the American Civil War, clothing became central to the ways people waged war and experienced its cost. Through the clothes they made, wore, mended, lost, and stole, Americans expressed their allegiances, showed their love, confronted their social and economic challenges, subverted expectations, and, ultimately, preserved their history. As collections left behind make clear, Civil War Americans believed clothing was not merely a reflection of one's class, gender, race, military rank, political ideology, or taste. Instead, from the weave of a fabric to the style and make of a coat, Northerners and Southerners alike understood that clothing had the power to affect people's way of living through the war's tumult.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this compelling and well-illustrated history, Sarah Jones Weicksel reveals as never before the meanings of clothing to Civil War Americans. Contributing to the growing body of scholarship on the material culture of the Civil War, Weicksel invites readers to understand the depth of how war penetrated daily life by focusing on the intimate, visceral, material experiences that shaped how people moved through the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Jones Weicksel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469689146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469689142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.12w x 1.00d","brand":"Sarah Jones Weicksel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46807222911231,"sku":"9781469689142","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae716ae2-158a-42d6-b245-ea89b2523fbe.jpg?v=1745378869","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-nation-unraveled-sarah-jones-weicksel-9781469689142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
