This is the first book that compares these parallel developments by focusing on the Unionist and pro-Bourbon political forces that opposed the two new nations in inner civil conflicts. Overlapping these conflicts were the social revolutions triggered by the rebellions of American slaves and Southern Italian peasants against the slaveholding and landowning elites. Utilizing a comparative perspective, Enrico Dal Lago sheds light on the reasons why these combined factors of internal opposition proved fatal for the Confederacy in the American Civil War, while the Italian Kingdom survived its own civil war. At the heart of this comparison is a desire to understand how and why nineteenth-century nations rose and either endured or disappeared"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Secession -- Southern States -- History -- 19th century Secession -- Italy -- History -- 19th century Agriculture -- Economic aspects -- Italy -- History -- 19th century Agriculture -- Economic aspects -- United States -- History -- 19th century Elite (Social sciences) -- Southern States -- History -- 19th century Elite (Social sciences) -- Italy, Southern -- History -- 19th century Civil war -- Cross-cultural studies HISTORY -- United States -- State & Local -- General.
