First line

April 6, 1917. It was past midnight when Claude Kitchin of North Carolina rose to speak to the House of Representatives.

From the jacket flap

Keith examines southern draft resistance, evasion, and desertion during World War I, when over 95,000 southern men refused to serve in the U.S. Army. She offers new insights into both New South politics and society and the growing power of the nation-state in early twentieth-century America.
