Product Information

Leading politicians, diplomats, clerics, planters, farmers, manufacturers, and merchants preached a transformative, world-historical role for the Confederacy, persuading many of their compatriots to fight not merely to retain what they had but to gain their future empire. Impervious to reality, their vision of future world leadership--territorial, economic, political, and cultural--provided a vitally important, underappreciated motivation to form an independent Confederate republic. In Colossal Ambitions, Adrian Brettle explores how leading Confederate thinkers envisioned their postwar nation--its relationship with the United States, its place in the Americas, and its role in the global order. Brettle draws on rich caches of published and unpublished letters and diaries, Confederate national and state government documents, newspapers published in North America and England, conference proceedings, pamphlets, contemporary and scholarly articles, and more to engage the perspectives not only of modern historians but some of the most salient theorists of the Western World in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. An impressive and complex undertaking, Colossal Ambitions concludes that while some Confederate commentators saw wartime industrialization as pointing towards a different economic future, most Confederates saw their society as revolving once more around coercive labor, staple crop production, and exports in the war's wake.

Reviews
Colossal Ambitions is a polished, well-researched, and well-written book. The level of detail about how Confederates imagined economic development, international relations, cotton production, and slavery is impressive. Brettle has provided a significant work that will help readers grasp what is at stake in understanding the imagination of Confederate thinkers and planners., [A]n engrossing investigation into the scale, but in some ways also the startling modernity, of the South's territorial ambitions., An interesting and valuable contribution to the field, Colossal Ambitions elaborates on the mindset that underpinned Confederates' diplomatic hubris., An interesting and valuable contribution to the field, Colossal Ambitions elaborates on themindset that underpinned Confederates' diplomatic hubris., Not only did Confederates anticipate victory on the field of battle, but also they had specific ideas about the society that the blood sacrifice of their soldiers would conjure into being. This lucidly written, historically imaginative, and deeply researched study by Adrian Brettle weaves these ideas into a valuable picture of the postwar world envisioned by Confederate policy makers and opinion makers... Based on the skillful portrait the author creates, one would not be wrong to argue that Confederate thinkers looked backward to a perfected antebellum world rather than forward to a realistic postwar world.
