Book Description
"The War-Time Journal of a Georgia Girl, 1864-1865" is a very important diary from the Civil War. It's about a girl named Eliza Frances Andrews, also known as Fanny, who lived in the South before the war. Her family was rich and had many slaves. When Georgia left the United States to join the Confederacy, it caused arguments in Fanny's family. Her father didn't want to leave the Union because he was worried it would ruin their lives. But Fanny and her family supported the South and even had brothers who fought in the war. Fanny didn't start writing about the war right away. But when she saw how bad things were getting, she decided to write down what was happening. One important part of her diary talks about when General Sherman and his Union troops marched through Georgia, destroying everything in their path. Fanny had to leave her home and become a refugee in her own state. Fanny's diary tells us a lot about what life was like for people in the South during the Civil War. It shows how the old way of life was falling apart and how people had to adapt to survive. Many people have praised Fanny's diary for giving us a closer look at what life was like during the Civil War. They say she was a talented writer and a smart observer. After the war, Fanny became a popular writer in the South. Her books and articles show us how people felt after the war ended and how they tried to move on.

Book Description
In the fall of 1864 General Sherman and his army cut a ruinous swath across Georgia, and outraged Southerners steeled themselves for defeat. Threatened by the approach of the Union army, young Eliza Frances Andrews and her sister Metta fled from their home in Washington, Georgia, to comparative safety in the southwestern part of the state. The daughter of a prominent judge who disapproved of secession, Eliza kept a diary that fully registers the anger and despair of Confederate citizens during the last months of the Civil War. Traveling across Georgia, Eliza observes Sherman’s devastation. A lively social life is maintained at her eldest sister’s plantation, where she and Metta take refuge, but Eliza’s sense of doom is clear. Rumors are rife—the fall of Richmond, the surrender of General Lee, the imminent approach of the Yankees. On returning to the family home, she sees the Old South crumble before her eyes. The War-Time Journal of a Georgia Girl depicts the chaos and tumult of a period when invaders and freed slaves swarmed in the streets, starved and beaten soldiers asked for food at houses with little or none, and currency was worthless. Eliza’s agony is complicated by political differences with her beloved father. Edited and first published nearly a half century after the Civil War, her diary is a passionate firsthand record.

CHAPTER VI FORES H ADO WINGS OF THE RACE PROBLEM June 1--July 16, 1865 Explanatory Note.--I would gladly have left out the family dissensions about politics with which this and the preceding chapter abound, could it have been done consistently with faithfulness to the original narrative which I have sought to maintain in giving to the public this contemporary record of the war time. It is due to my father's memory, however, to say that his devotion to the Union was not owing to any want of sympathy with his own section, but to his belief that the interests of the South would be best served by remaining under the old flag. No man was ever in more hearty accord with our civilization and institutions than he. The question with him was not whether these ought to be preserved, but by what means their safety could best be assured. His judgment told him that secession must inevitably be a failure, in any case. Even could we have held our own in the face of the overwhelming odds against us, and established our independence, he believed that the disintegrating forces of inter-state jealousies and the intrigues of self-seeking politicians would soon have dissolved the bonds of a loosely-organized confederation, based on the right of secession, and left us in the end, broken and divided, at the mercy of our powerful centralized neighbor. I think, too, his common sense told him that slavery was bound to go, sooner or later, and if emancipation must come, it would be better that it should take place peacefully and by carefully prearranged steps than with the violence and unreason which he foresaw were sure to follow in case of war. He was a large slaveholder himself, and honestly believed, like most of his class, that a condition of mild servitude...
