Ghosts of the Confederacy Defeat, the Lost Cause and the Emergency of the New South, 1865-1913
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Oxford Univ Pr
- Publish date: 11/01/1988
Description:
Through an examination of memoirs, personal papers, and postwar Confederate rituals, this book explores how white southerners adjusted to and interpreted their defeat, and analyses the cultural implications of a central event in American history. Foster argues that, contrary to southern folklore, southerners actually accepted their loss, rapidly embraced both reunion and a New South, and helped to foster sectional reconciliation and an emerging socialorder.
