White lies

how the South lost the Civil War then rewrote the history
Ann Bausum
Book - 2025

"Warning: this is not your average U.S. history book. When the Civil War ended, the Confederates may have laid down their arms, but they were far from accepting defeat. Instead, they distorted the facts about what had happened, creating an alternate version of history. This false narrative is known as the Lost Cause. Some lies of the Lost Cause: Slavery was a compassionate institution. The Civil War wasn't fought over slavery; it was all about states' rights. The Ku Klux Klan nobly protected White people during Reconstruction. These lies still influence textbooks, popular culture, public policy, and more -- often in hidden and surprising ways. This book will address twenty lies of the Lost Cause and set the record straight. Dive in to learn the true history of the Civil War and its complex, far-reaching aftermath. Are you ready to begin?" --
