Overview: This book focuses on exactly that which I mentioned above, and it is tragic and beautiful. Interestingly though, it only covers the post-war experiences of Union soldiers. At first I wondered why Jordan needed to choose sides in his research, but his explanation of his choice was groundbreaking for me. I never knew that the Union and Confederate soldiers had such incredibly different post-war experiences. Although the South lost, the soldiers returned home as heroes to their people, praised and glorified for the rest of their lives for their support of the Lost Cause. Union soldiers, on the other hand, came home victorious but instantly became relics of a struggle that the rest of the North wanted to forget. Instantly after the war was over, politics demanded that the North and South reunite and that people forge peace and move ahead, making the Union veterans “impossible nuisances who, by obsessing over their past, merely threatened the future and all of its possibilities.”They were ignored, neglected by government and civilians, and seen as embarrassments. The many personal details demonstrating this in Marching Home are deeply upsetting and contrary to the image of post-war peace filled with happy reunions.
