Description
Matthew Stanley is the recipient of the 2018 Wiley-Silver Prize for best first book in Civil War history. Stanley's book, The Loyal West: Civil War and Reunion in Middle America, was published by the University of Illinois Press in 2016. Stanley's book examines the role the Lower Middle West played in the development of white reunion at the end of Reconstruction. This area was significant in the development of white reunion because of the prevalence of anti-black, anti-eastern, and anti-rebel attitudes. The region's rejection of Reconstruction also influenced politics throughout America. Dr. Stanley earned his Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati in 2013, and is currently an Assistant Professor of History at Albany State University.
