Aims & Scope
The Journal of the Civil War Era is published by UNC Press in association with the George and Ann Richards Civil War Era Center.
It publishes the most creative new work on the many issues raised by slavery, the sectional crisis, war, emancipation, Reconstruction, and memory of the country’s signal conflict, while bringing fresh understanding to the struggles that defined the period, and by extension, the course of American history in the nineteenth century.
A subscription to the journal comes with membership in the Society of Civil War Historians.
The journal offers a unique space where scholars across the many subfields that animate nineteenth-century history can enter into conversation with each other.
Besides offering fresh perspectives on the military, political, and legal history of the era, the journal covers such disparate subjects as slavery and antislavery, labor and capitalism, popular culture and intellectual history, expansionism and empire, and African American and women’s history.
Moreover, The Journal of the Civil War Era is a venue where scholars engaged in the full range of theoretical perspectives that animate historical practice can find a home.
