By the 1860s, it was a thriving Confederate city, second only to Richmond in importance. \u003cem\u003eA Changing Wind\u003c\/em\u003e is the first history to explore what it meant to live in Atlanta during its rapid growth, its devastation in the Civil War, and its rise as a \"New South\" city during Reconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Changing Wind\u003c\/em\u003e brings to life the stories of Atlanta's diverse citizens. In a rich account of residents' changing loyalties to the Union and the Confederacy, the book highlights the unequal economic and social impacts of the war, General Sherman's siege, and the stunning rebirth of the city in postwar years. The final chapter focuses on Atlanta's collective memory of the Civil War, showing how racial divisions have led to differing views on the war's meaning and place in the city's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Hamand Venet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820351360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWENDY HAMAND VENET is a professor of history at Georgia State University.
