History, it's said, is written by the winners. Thus, one must look long and hard to find an account of the Civil War from the South's perspective. What was the primary cause for their secession and rebellion? When fewer than one in seven that fought owned slaves it was clearly not to preserve the institution. Why then? The reader may find it interesting that the South's president, Jefferson Davis -- from whose 1890 book "A Short History of the Confederate States of America" introductory chapters are included -- likened the South's struggle for independence with the country's break from Britain four score earlier. Written in 1895 for younger audiences, "History of the War for Southern Independence: The Story of the Confederate States" offers a rare perspective on what the North called "The Great Rebellion." Handier than the free PDFs on the web, this you can hold, bookmark, highlight and shelve. An inexpensive imperative for any history buff.

John Bell Hood, a native of Kentucky bred on romantic notions of the Old South and determined to model himself on Robert E. Lee, had a tragic military career, no less interesting for being calamitous. After conspicuous bravery in leading a Texas brigade, he rose in the ranks to become the youngest of the full generals of the Confederacy. The misfortune in store for Hood, a far better fighter than a strategist, illustrates the strain and risks of high command. One of the lasting images to come out of the Civil War is that of the one-legged General Hood strapped in his saddle, leading his men in a hopeless counter-offensive against Sherman's march on Atlanta. In this prize-winning book Richard M. McMurry spares no details of Hood's ultimate "complete and disastrous failure," but he is concerned to do justice to one of the most maligned and misunderstood figures in Civil War history.

In this hard-hitting collection of 4 essays, Dr Wilson cuts straight to the chase: YOU WERE LIED TO! You were lied to about the nature, character, and cause of the American "Civil War," but that is just the start. The entire South--its people, culture, history, customs, both past and present--has been and continues to be lied about and demonized by the unholy trinity of the American establishment: Academia, Hollywood, and the Media.In the midst of the anti-South hysteria currently infecting the American psyche--the banning of flags, charges of hate and "racism," the removal and attempted removal of Confederate monuments, the renaming of schools, vandalism of monuments and property displaying the Confederate Battle Flag, and even physical assaults, albeit rarely at present, on people who display the symbols of the South--Shotwell Publishing offers this unapologetic, unreconstructed, pro-South eBook to the world as a FREE GIFT with the hope that it will reach those who are left that are not afraid to question the sanity of this cultural purge and the veracity of its narrative concerning the South.

Dr. Charles T. Pace has been the first to use a precisely accurate term for the U.S. Civil War---the War to Prevent Southern Independence. In this work he traces how what he calls the Northern Money Party preferred war to allowing the South to get free of its economic domination. He reveals aspects of Abraham Lincoln's life and actions that even Prof. Thomas DiLorenzo missed. Along the way, reflecting on his long career as a family physician in North Carolina, the author describes what was good in a Southern life shared by blacks and whites over many generations.

Stephanie McCurry tells a very different tale of the Confederate experience. When the grandiosity of Southerners’ national ambitions met the harsh realities of wartime crises, unintended consequences ensued. Although Southern statesmen and generals had built the most powerful slave regime in the Western world, they had excluded the majority of their own people—white women and slaves—and thereby sowed the seeds of their demise.
