Synopsis
The Lost Cause Regained offers a historically informed, revisionist look at the Civil War era and its aftermath. It presents a fresh perspective on the South’s memory, Reconstruction, and the enduring idea of a “lost cause” that the author argues can be understood anew in today’s political climate.
Structured as a comprehensive analysis, this edition frames key debates—constitutional principles, the role of the Union, and the Negro question—from a Southern point of view while engaging with broader national implications. It invites readers to reconsider how history shapes current political identities and loyalties without oversimplifying the past.
- Explains the evolution of the Lost Cause idea and how it is interpreted today
- Discusses Reconstruction politics, constitutional questions, and shifts in national memory
- Explores the race and equality debates that shaped policy and public opinion
- Offers a perspective on how historical narratives influence present-day discussions
Ideal for readers interested in American history, Civil War memory, and the long arc of political ideas in the United States.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Much ostentation vain of fleshly arm And fragile arms, much instrument of war, Long in preparing, soon to nothing brought Before mine eyes thou hast set; and in my ear Vented much policy, and projects deep Of enemies, of aids, battles and leagues, Plausible to the world, to me worth naught, Means I must use, thou say st, prediction else Will unpredict and fail me of the throne: My time I told thee (and that time for thee Were better farthest off) is not yet come; 9W hen that comes, think not thou to find me slack On my part aught endeavouring, or to need Thy politic maxims, or that cumbersome Luggage of war there shown me, argument Of human weakness rather than of strength More humane, more heavenly first By winning words to conquer willing hearts, And make persuasion do the work of fear. At least to try and teach the erring soul Not wilfully misdoing, but unware, Misled; the stubborn only to subdue. Milton s Paradise Regained.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of the American Civil War, offering a unique perspective on the South's perspective and the political machinations that led to its defeat. The author examines the shortcomings of Confederate leadership, particularly President Jefferson Davis, arguing that his administration lacked the vision and statesmanship necessary to galvanize the South's resources and inspire its people. The book explores the motivations behind the war, challenging the prevailing narrative that slavery was the sole driving force behind the conflict. It instead suggests that the South fought to preserve its way of life and its racial hierarchy, seeing the war as a battle against the threat of racial equality. The author also dissects the South's reaction to the Emancipation Proclamation, arguing that it did little to shift the Southern perspective on the war or fundamentally change the course of the conflict. Instead, the book posits that the North's success was rooted in its effective control of foreign relations and its robust financial system. The book ultimately offers a compelling analysis of the South's political and societal vulnerabilities in the face of the North's formidable military and economic power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331020011_0
