In the process, the book shows how these lies have long obscured the past and been used to buttress white supremacy in ways that resonate to this day. The author explores how fabricated narratives about the war's cause, Reconstruction, and slavery--as expounded at monument dedications and political rallies--were crucial to Jim Crow. He questions the persistent myth of the Confederacy as one of history's greatest armies, revealing a convenient disregard of deserters, dissent, and Unionism, and exposes how pension fraud facilitated a myth of unwavering support of the Confederacy among nearly all white Southerners. In addition, the author shows how the dubious concept of "black Confederates" was spun from a small number of elderly and indigent African American North Carolinians who got pensions by presenting themselves as "loyal slaves." The book concludes with a penetrating examination of how the Lost Cause narrative and the lies on which it is based continue to haunt the country today and still work to maintain racial inequality.--Provided by publisher.White supremacy movementsUnited StatesHistorySoldiers' monumentsMoral and ethical aspectsSouthern StatesUnited StatesHistoriographyUnited StatesRace relationsHistory20th centuryUnited StatesRace relationsHistory19th centuryUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865MonumentsMoral and ethical aspectsWhite supremacy movementsHistory.Soldiers' monumentsMoral and ethical aspects320.56/909Domby Adam H.1983-1814368MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910960876703321The false cause4368236UNINA01059nam0 22002651i 450 UON0028414020231205103852.24520061121d1929 |0itac50 bagerDE||||e |||||Goethe-Wortschatzein sprachgeschichtliches Wörterbuch zu Goethes sämtlichen WerkenPaul FischerLeipzigEmil Rohmkopf Verlag1929905 p.28 cm.Goethe Johann Wolfgang VonUONC061101FIDELeipzigUONL003218830.03Letteratura tedesca.
