"Wars have played a fundamental part in modern German history. Although infrequent, conflicts involving German states have usually been extensive and often catastrophic, constituting turning points for Europe as a whole. This volume is the first in a series of studies that explore how such conflicts were experienced by soldiers and civilians during wartime, and how they were subsequently imagined and understood during peacetime. Without such an understanding, it is difficult to make sense of the dramatic shifts characterizing the politics of Germany and Europe over the past two centuries. The studies argue that the ease, or reluctance, with which Germans went to war, and the far-reaching consequences of such wars on domestic politics, were related to soldiers and civilians attitudes to violence and death, as well as to long-term transformations in contemporaries conceptualization of conflict. Absolute War reassesses the meaning of military conflict for the millions of German subjects who were directly implicated in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Based on a re-reading of contemporary diaries, letters, memoirs, official correspondence, press reports, pamphlets, treatises, poems, and plays, it refocuses attention on combat and conscription as the central components of new forms of mass warfare. It concentrates, in particular, on the impact of violence, killing, and death on soldiers and civilians experiences and subsequent memories of conflict. War has often been conceived of as an act of violence pushed to its utmost bounds, as Clausewitz put it, but the relationship between military conflicts and violent acts remains a problematic one."

"Skripsi ini menjelaskan mengenai keterkaitan antara novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, kaum abolisionis, dan pecahnya Perang Sipil. Metode yang digunakan dalam menyusun skripsi ini yaitu metode sejarah yang terdiri dari heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Perkembangan institusi perbudakan di wilayah Selatan Amerika Serikat menyebabkan munculnya kelompok yang menentang kehadiran institusi tersebut,yang disebut sebagai kaum abolisionis. Para abolisionis melakukan berbagai kegiatan untuk mengakhiri keberadaan institusi perbudakan, baik melalui tindakan langsung maupun tidak langsung. Salah satu kegiatan kaum abolisionis yang paling menonjol adalah dengan menyebarkan pemikiran mereka melalui tulisan yang diterbitkan dalam bentuk media cetak, atau biasa disebut sebagai media abolisionis. Kehadiran novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin karya Harriet Beecher Stowe menambah daftar media abolisionis dan menjadi sebuah propaganda anti-perbudakan yang paling sukses pada saat itu. Hasil penelitian dalam skripsi menunjukkan bahwa novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin telah meningkatkan sentimen anti-perbudakan di Utara, sehingga menyebabkan semakin banyaknya jumlah kaum abolisionis, dan pada akhirnya menjadi salah satu pemicu terjadinya Perang Sipil.
