Title
Franco-Americans in the Civil War Era, 1861-1865
Description
French Canadians and Franco Americans in the context of the American Civil War. Includes enlistment figures in relation to immigration, as well as population figures around 1860. Considers the short history surrounding the complicated reality of new immigrants fighting in a war for their new country. From the preface: "This booklet was written in an effort to better acquaint Franco-Americans with their outstanding contribution to American life. Indeed, it is partly up to Canadian historians to reveal this heritage to French Canada’s often neglected and overlooked diaspora. For too long, Franco-Americans have remained the 'forgotten Americans.' This study seeks to help remedy this unfortunate oversight. 'Franco-Americans in the Civil War Era' is the first booklet in a bilingual series called 'Études sur l’histoire des relations canado-américaines/Studies in the History of Canadian-American Relations' that explores various aspects of the historical relationship between Canada and the United States. The series’ goal is to provide the reader with a more holistic understanding of Canadian and American history."
