"The Lost Cause... is a tangible and influential phenomenon in American culture and this book provides an excellent source for anyone seeking to explore its various dimensions." -- Southern Historian

Synopsis
Was the Confederacy doomed from the start in its struggle against the superior might of the Union? Did its forces fight heroically against all odds for the cause of states' rights? In reality, these suggestions are an elaborate and intentional effort on the part of Southerners to rationalize the secession and the war itself. Unfortunately, skillful propagandists have been so successful in promoting this romanticized view that the Lost Cause has assumed a life of its own. Misrepresenting the war's true origins and its actual course, the myth of the Lost Cause distorts our national memory. In The Myth of the Lost Cause and Civil War History, nine historians describe and analyze the Lost Cause, identifying ways in which it falsifies history -- creating a volume that makes a significant contribution to Civil War historiography.

- h***h (1)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseDisappointing - the book was rated as 'Good' condition, but was in fact poor, with over 20 pages cut out at the spine as well as mark up scattered throughout. The seller also prevents negative feedback from being provided until a week after the delivery, although positive feedback can be provided sooner, which seems like an attempt to dissuade negative experiences from being reported.
