Both Prayed to the Same God

the long version

"Both Prayed to the Same God is the first book-length, comprehensive study of religion in the Civil War. While much research has focused on religion in a specific context of the Civil War, this book provides a needed overview of this vital yet largely forgotten subject of American history. Writing passionately about the subject, Robert J. Miller presents this history in an accessible but scholarly fashion. Beginning with the religious undertones in the lead up to the war and concluding with consequences on religion in the aftermath, Miller shows us not only a forgotten aspect of history, but also how our current historical situation is not unprecedented."--Jacket.
