  Hard Aground - The Wreck of the...

  Hard Aground brings together three intertwined stories documenting the US Navy's strategic and matériel evolution from the end of Civil War through the First World War. 
   
   
   
  The first story focuses on the reconstruction of the US Navy following the swift and near-total dismantling of the Union Navy infrastructure after the Civil War. Jampoler argues that the federal government discovered that the fleet requested by the navy, and paid for by Congress, was the wrong fleet. 
   
   
   
  The second story relates the short, tragic life of the USS Tennessee. The USS Tennessee was ordered on two unusual missions in the early months of the First World War, long before the United States formally entered the war. These little-known missions and the ship's shocking destruction in a storm surge in the Caribbean serve as the centerpiece of the story. 
   
   
   
  Jampoler rounds out this fascinating account with the story of how the USS Tennessee's destruction prompted fierce deliberations about the US Navy's operations and chains of command for the remainder of the First World War and the high-level political wrangling inside the Department of the Navy immediately after the war.

  Women of the American South -...

  The Antebellum South, the period in American history before the Civil War, was a time of immense social, economic, and political turbulence. In this era, women of the South played crucial roles, yet their lives were shaped by complex systems of power, race, and class that significantly influenced their identities and experiences. The women of the Antebellum South, particularly those in the planter class, were often seen through the lens of their domestic roles—wives, mothers, and caretakers—but their contributions went far beyond these confines. 
  For white Southern women, the plantation system defined much of their existence. These women were raised to be the wives of wealthy landowners, and their lives were deeply connected to the economic and social systems that kept the plantation economy thriving. They managed large households, oversaw domestic servants (often enslaved people), and ensured that the daily needs of the family were met. While their lives were marked by relative comfort and privilege compared to many of their Northern counterparts, this privilege came at a cost—mainly the complicity in and active support of slavery. Their social status and wealth were intertwined with the exploitation of enslaved Africans, and the power dynamics within the household mirrored the racial and gender hierarchies of the time.
