The former Confederate states have continually mythologized the South's defeat to the North, depicting the Civil War as unnecessary, or as a fight over states' Constitutional rights, or as a David v. Goliath struggle in which the North waged "total war" over an underdog South. In The Myth of the Lost Cause, historian Edward Bonekemper deconstructs this multi-faceted myth, revealing the truth about the war that nearly tore the nation apart 150 years ago.

Though several historians had published works on America's westward expansion prior, Paxson's Pulitzer Prize winning study was groundbreaking in its complete and unified presentation. Beginning with a survey of the frontier at the end of the French and Indian War and proceeding to follow the frontier westward until the close of the period of settlement in about 1890, Paxson's cross-sectional method carries the narrative in a wide windrow of detail, serving as a detailed and scholarly synthesis of the fragmentary work of previous historians.

Story
The Civil War is most remembered for the grand battles that have come to define it: Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, among others. However, as bestselling author Patrick K. O’Donnell reveals in The Unvanquished, a vital shadow war raged amid and away from the major battlefields that was in many ways equally consequential to the conflict’s outcome.
Publisher's Summary
In this poignant and thought-provoking book, Samuel A'Court Ashe, a Confederate infantry captain and respected historian, offers a firsthand account of the Civil War from the Southern perspective. Ashe meticulously examines the war's underlying causes, delving into the contentious issues of slavery, state sovereignty, and the balance of power between the federal government and individual states. With a keen eye for historical detail and a deep understanding of the Southern psyche, Ashe challenges the prevailing Northern narrative and presents a compelling case for the South's motivations and actions.
Ashe's work is not merely a chronicle of military battles and political maneuvers; it is a profound exploration of the human spirit amidst a nation divided. He paints vivid portraits of the ordinary men and women who endured the hardships of war, their resilience and determination shining through even in the darkest of times. Ashe also confronts the moral complexities of slavery, acknowledging its deep-rooted presence in Southern society while simultaneously questioning its role in the conflict.
"A Southern View of the Invasion of the Southern States and War of 1861-65" is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the Civil War, offering a compelling counterpoint to traditional historical interpretations. Ashe's work is essential listening for anyone seeking a nuanced and insightful perspective on this pivotal chapter in American history.
