Synopsis

Challenge of telling history from a Confederate perspective with a pointed, unapologetic voice.

This work revisits the way the Civil War and its memory have been taught in schools. It argues that many histories have biased readers by presenting the South in a negative light and aims to offer a different, more sympathetic account to readers seeking context and dialogue.

- Exposes how some conventional histories shape public memory and why that matters today
- Compares what is labeled as “treachery” and “insurrection” across sides of the conflict
- Builds a case for teaching history in a way that includes multiple viewpoints

Ideal for readers of historical argument and readers curious about how history is taught in schools.
