How the South Won the Civil War

In 'How the South Won the Civil War', Heather Cox Richardson explores how the system that sustained the defeated South moved westward, establishing a new birth of white male oligarchy despite the guarantees of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.

The book delves into the American paradox of competing claims of equality and subordination, revealing how the Old South's ideology thrived in the West.
