During the Civil War era, black and white North Carolinians were forced to fundamentally reinterpret the morality of suicide, divorce, and debt as they became pressing issues throughout the region and nation. Drawing upon a diverse body of sources, including insane asylum records, divorce petitions, bankruptcy filings, diaries, and personal correspondence, Silkenat describes a society turned upside down as a consequence of a devastating war.
