"The Yankees won the Civil War and they have written the history of that war the way they wished it to be; not the way it was! Without evidence, the South was found guilty of starting the war because of slavery and secession. The people of the states knew then had the right to vote themselves out of a Union they had joined freely. Lincoln, himself, said repeatedly that the war did not start because of slavery. Yankee history tells of each Southern atrocity but fails to record the large number of Northern misdeeds. Yankees are shown as the "good guys," riding white horses and coming to the rescue. Northern history books "forget" to tell of over 600 Indian men, women and children the Federals massacred or tell of the Confederate hospital the Yankees set afire burning the wounded alive! The true Lincoln is a much different person that Union history books portray. You will learn of late night seances to contact the dead, Lincoln's role in shipping Negroes out of this country, be witness as he imprisons over 40,000 U.S. citizens who dare to speak against his dictatorial regime and his admission that his Emancipation Proclamation was unconstitutional. You will learn of his support of the "Beast Butler's" reign of terror and humiliation in New Orleans. Hear Lincoln's soast as Sherman turns Georgia and the Carolinas into ashes. You will see that he cared nothing for his common soldiers as Grant charges thousands of them to their deaths! This history is a breath of fresh air, true and Southern! This volume will excite students no matter their age. Unknown history has been added to that which is already known! It is not a "dry read" but is often told with humor and biting sarcasm. Not only does the author capture the history, he captures the mood of the Southern population during this critical time in our country's history. It is all here: the daring raids; massive battles; the life-and-death struggles that radically changed one nation and destroyed another! What the Northern historians dared not tell Southern children: the South had the right to leave the Union! The war was not about slavery! The Confederacy was based on Bibllical principles! All the South wanted was to have their own country and be left in peace." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
