Baptized in blood : the religion of the Lost Cause, 1865-1920 : with a new preface

Charles Reagan Wilson (Author)
"Southerners may have abandoned their dream of a political nation after Appomattox, but they preserved their cultural identity by blending Christian rhetoric and symbols with the rhetoric and imagery of Confederate tradition. Out of defeat emerged a civil religion that embodied the Lost Cause."-- Provided by publisher
