Most Americans hold basic misconceptions about the Confederacy, the Civil War, and the actions of subsequent neoConfederates. For example, two thirds of Americansincluding most history teachersthink the Confederate States seceded for states rights. This error persists because most have never read the key documents about the Confederacy.These documents have always been there. When South Carolina seceded, it published Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union. The document actually opposes states rights. Its authors argue that Northern states were ignoring the rights of slave owners as identified by Congress and in the Constitution. Similarly, Mississippis Declaration of the Immediate Causes. . . says, Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slaverythe greatest material interest of the world.Later documents in this collection show how neoConfederates obfuscated this truth, starting around 1890. The evidence also points to the centrality of race in neoConfederate thought even today and to the continuing importance of neoConfederate ideas in American political life. The 150th anniversary of secession and civil war provides a moment for all Americans to read these documents, properly set in context by awardwinning sociologist and historian James W. Loewen and coeditor, Edward H. Sebesta, to put in perspective the mythology of the Old South.

Not What I Expected
I received this book and it had a few damaged pages, which was disappointing. The content seems interesting, but it detracted from my experience. I hope to get a replacement because the subject matter is important and I want to read it thoroughly.

Informative but Lengthy
There’s a lot of valuable information, but I found some sections a bit dry and lengthy. I’ll need to revisit it in chunks instead of trying to read it all at once. It definitely has its merits for those serious about studying this aspect of history.
