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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the many historical distortions and outright fabrications that have characterized the teaching of American history in schools since the Civil War. The author argues that the sectional reconciliation that followed the war led to a sanitized and incomplete understanding of the conflict, and that this has had a lasting impact on the way that Americans view their own history. The book challenges the dominant narrative of the war as a struggle between the forces of good and evil, and argues that the truth is far more complex. The author draws on a wealth of primary and secondary sources to support his arguments, and he offers a fresh perspective on one of the most important events in American history. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to understand the true nature of the Civil War and its legacy.
