Nations of American Rebels: Understanding Nationalism in Revolutionary North America and the Civil War South

Men have fought to overturn their government on two major occasions in American history: the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. The Revolutionaries of 1774 -83 and the Confederates of 1860 -65 declared independence from oppressive governments they perceived as having failed to protect their rights. Men and women of these rebellions claimed a distinctive, new identity, and soldiers took up arms by the thousands to redress their grievances. Many of them failed to return home--no other wars have inflicted as great a proportion of casualties on the American populace. The complexities of motivation, mobilization, support, loyalty, internal conflict, identity, and ideology have troubled historians for decades. Yet no question is as puzzling as the degree to which those who seceded from their nation's governments had developed a nationality of their own.

Managed care in obstetrics and gynecology: Can our specialty survive?

The presence of managed care in obstetrics and gynecology is not a recent happening. It finds its roots in the pre–Civil War South when young physicians who had difficulty starting a practice would contract with plantation owners to care for their slaves.1 Simon Baruch, father of Bernard Baruch, practiced in Kershaw County, South Carolina, in the mid-1800s. He was severely criticized for offering to care for a plantation owner’s slaves for $2 per slave per year.2 This contract form of practice dwindled to almost extinction by the 1920s.

Interest Rates in the Civil War South

Interest rates in the Civil War South were quite stable and even declined a bit during the war. In this article we explain the mechanism that produced this puzzling result. The existence of a fixed-rate call certificate redeemable at par anchored interest rates expressed in terms of Confederate dollars. When expressed in terms of gold, they were volatile, high, and reflected war events.
