Total war against civilians didn't begin with World War II. It was official policy of the Union during the Civil War to lay waste to southern cities, towns, and farms. Tactics northern generals used against civilians became the blueprint for armed forces in Europe and Japan 80 years later.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/total-war-against-civilians-never-justified

In this classic 1963 essay, Murray Rothbard argues that the state is inherently hostile to peace because war enhances its power, prestige, and control. While individuals benefit from peace and voluntary exchange, governments thrive on conflict, using war as a tool to centralize authority and suppress liberty. Rothbard challenges the moral legitimacy of state warfare and calls for a truly libertarian stance—non-intervention and individualism.

In this episode, Mark Thornton shares his recent Revisionist History of War Conference talk on a lesser-known factor in the American Civil War: the Confederate “impressment” policy and its impact at Vicksburg. While Gettysburg is more famous, Vicksburg was just as pivotal, and the South's policy of seizing goods at artificially low prices actually helped Grant win.Mark challenges the idea that the Confederacy lost simply because it was outgunned, and he explores what this teaches about how smaller groups fighting for freedom and independence can take on much larger forces.Additional ResourcesTariffs, Blockades, and Inflation: The Economics of the Civil War by Mark Thornton and Robert Ekelund: https://mises.org/MI_122A"The Confederate Blockade of the South" (Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics, Vol. 4, No. 1) by Mark Thornton and Robert Ekelund: https://mises.org/MI_122B"The Economics of the Civil War" (eight-lecture series) by Mark Thornton: https://mises.org/MI_122CRegister for the 2025 Mises Institute Supporters Summit in Delray Beach, Florida, October 16–18: https://mises.org/ss25
