"A Storm in the Land: Southern Moravians and the Civil War" by Nola Reed Knouse explores the experiences of the Moravian communities in the South, primarily in North Carolina, during the tumultuous period of the American Civil War.The book delves into how this pacifist religious group, known for their communal living and distinct cultural practices, navigated the intense pressures and divisions brought about by the war. It examines their struggles with conscription, their responses to slavery within their communities, and the impact of the conflict on their beliefs, social structures, and daily lives. Knouse utilizes archival records, diaries, and letters to offer a unique perspective on the Civil War through the lens of a religious minority caught in the crossfire.
