Publisher Description
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 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.

Opinion Is Not Fact
Do not believe that the negative reviewers for this essay are stating absolute fact. What is actually put forth in their reviews is personal opinion asserted as fact. The early to mid 19th century was a complicated time in the United States. Even more complicated is the historical spin that is put upon the period. If you believe slavery was a cause of the Civil War then you would be correct. However if you believe slavery was the only cause of the war you would be the victim of a Northern narrative that has been perpetuated through an academic brainwashing. Understand this writing is presented from a modern Southerner’s view, and does not threaten anyone’s way of life. The “it was about slavery” tag gets old and represents a lazy interpretation. The South didn’t start a war. They seceded. It was Lincoln’s orders and Northern aggression that began the war.
The African slave trade will forever be a stain on the soul of all nations who perpetuated and promoted it. Including the African slave traders who sold their fellow humans into bondage. It was a global culture at the time. Many cultures, ethnic groups, and conquered peoples were kept as servants or sold into slavery - all over the known world. That does not make the practice any more right or virtuous in its execution. Simply a matter of historical fact.
Why is the Southern culture so vilified for something that occurred on a global scale? Because it’s easy. It also the narrative the Northern unionists pushed to cover up underlying reasons for invading sovereign territory and destroying a people. I implore you to read more than one book. Also don’t take what has been pushed as absolute fact by cancel culture and hacks asserting their opinion. Political correctness and virtue signaling has somehow won out over objective historical lessons.
Oh, good lord, No!
This is a revisionist history of the Civil War, you know: the one that was definitely NOT about slavery, but was, in fact, a war for the north to gather power in a centralized government. I truly dislike knowing that I gave money to a racist cause.
A gimmick to push a false narrative promoting racism
It’s pretty sketchy to use another author’s book title to promote a false narrative about our nation’s history. Skip this one.
