He examines the system's daily operations, troublesome substitution and exemption procedures, and ultimate collapse. Although he credits Confederate conscription with a high degree of success, he blames it for causing dissension between state and national officials and for creating bureaucratic problems of colossal proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Garrett Piston's introduction places the volume in its historical context and underscores one of its most remarkable aspects--Moore's admission that a large number of Southerners did not support the Confederacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Burton Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570031525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570031526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.97h x 4.99w x 1.12d","brand":"Albert Burton Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939688677631,"sku":"9781570031526","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_68a7599a-2806-4b50-912a-8ba83c22246d.jpg?v=1681442936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conscription-and-conflict-in-the-albert-burton-moore-9781570031526","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
