Description
The Myth of the Lost Cause: Why the South Fought the Civil War and Why the North Won The history of the American Civil War is often told from a single perspective, but the truth is more complex. In the years following the war, a group of Confederate officers sought to rewrite the narrative of the conflict, creating a new myth that would ennoble the sacrifice and defeat of the South. This myth, known as the Lost Cause, would go on to shape American history for 150 years. In this balanced and compelling book, historian Edward Bonekemper sets out to correct the historical record and understand the true significance of the Lost Cause. By examining the myths and legends that have surrounded the Civil War, Bonekemper sheds new light on the social and political controversies that continue to shape America today. Through a nuanced and engaging exploration of the Myth of the Lost Cause, Bonekemper provides a fresh perspective on one of the most pivotal moments in American history.
