Sex and the Civil War | University of North Carolina Press ~ Judith Giesberg | Preview
Things are getting awesomely ugly on Battlestar Galactica , with the humans squabbling over sex and the justice system while their arch-enemies the Cylons march towards all-out bot-on-bot civil war. One of the more stylized, surreal episodes of BSG, last night's "The Ties that Bind" was full of weird camera angles and blurred-out backgrounds that perfectly capture the mental disintegration of several major characters. You guessed it: spoilers lie ahead. We begin with Cavil's resurrection in the Cylon goo chamber, where a bunch of his buddies including the "swing vote" Sharon are toweling him off and getting seriously grumpy about how the Six models got the Centurions to blast the shit out of them. Turns out "swing vote" Sharon is doing the nasty with Cavil, and they start making out even before he's scraped all the rebirth sludge off his face. Sharon calls the Six rebellion a form of "ethnic cleansing" because it eliminated all the Cavils and Simons from one of the Cylon ships.

Additional web sites on Civil War Savannah are listed below the book excerpt bottom right. I had already reviewed many general works about the war, for my web sites on Savannah during that period see links at bottom of web page , but none even mention sex as a discrete topic. In my novel Sherman has a mistress and she has a stalker, an immigrant who runs a house of prostitution. The novel's very premise demanded some research on sex in the Civil War, and that's when I discovered a trove of material, including several books written for the general public see sidebar , a History Channel DVD, and even a Wikipedia web site, Sex in the Civil War. My research also led to stories about women impersonating male soldiers in the war.
Traditional histories of the Civil War steer clear of sex and birth control in favor of heroes and battles. This ignores reality. Court martial records list over , incidents of sexual misconduct, and the Surgeon General of the United States Army documented , cases of venereal disease in the Union Army. The men and women, too who produced these alarming statistics came from all ranks of society.
