For Cause and Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil War is a work of Civil War social and military history by James M. McPherson, published by Oxford University Press in 1997. Rather than retelling campaigns or concentrating on generals, the book asks why ordinary Union and Confederate soldiers enlisted, endured hardship, and continued fighting through a long and destructive war. McPherson bases his analysis on an unusually large body of firsthand evidence, especially soldiers letters and diaries, allowing the men to explain their motives in their own language. The book examines patriotism, ideology, duty, honor, religion, comradeship, discipline, and morale, while comparing the attitudes of soldiers on both sides. Its central contribution is to challenge the assumption that Civil War soldiers quickly became disillusioned or fought mainly from coercion, habit, or fear. McPherson argues that many remained attached to the causes they believed the war represented, even as suffering and casualties increased.
