The Confederate and Neo-Confederate Reader

In this enlightening audiobook, James W. Loewen and coeditor Edward H. Sebesta delve into the misconceptions surrounding the Confederacy and the Civil War, particularly the erroneous belief that states' rights were the primary motive for secession. By examining key historical documents, including South Carolina and Mississippi's declarations, they reveal that the secessionist rhetoric was fundamentally tied to the institution of slavery. Marking the 150th anniversary of these events, this work provides essential context to challenge prevailing myths about the Old South.
