  • Summary

    Chapter 2 begins by describing how prewar partisan politics and violence led to mass partisan warfare. Next, I detail the theoretical foundations of mass partisanship under duress, drawing on research from political science and psychology. Lastly, I show the persistence of partisan voting patterns across party systems in the North – surprisingly stable electoral coalitions despite changes in name and issue emphasis. That continuity provides a solid basis for predicting strong partisanship in individual identities, leaders, and communities during the war.
