The Mythology of the Lost Cause

How did the Confederate myth of the Lost Cause develop? Why was it important for ex-Confederates to establish their "history" of the war? And why has this version of the past continued to offer such a powerful hold more than 160 years after the Civil War? This webinar will exam the origins, architects, and lasting influence of the Confederacy’s most enduring legacy.
