Revisiting the Civil War Narrative
This chapter critically examines the prevailing narratives of the Civil War, arguing that historical accounts are often shaped by those in power, particularly the victors. It challenges conventional understandings of the conflict, focusing on the Southern perspective of secession as a struggle for autonomy rather than mere rebellion. Furthermore, it explores the implications of historical interpretation on current political dynamics, including state versus federal authority.
