ebooks How Did American Slavery Begin? (Historians at Work) by Edward Countryman in History

Description

Southern pride-the notion that the South's character distinguishes it from the rest of the country-had a profound impact on how and why Confederates fought the Civil War; and continued to mold their psyche after they had been defeated. In Southern Invincibility; award-winning historian Wiley Sword traces the roots of the South's belief in its own superiority and examines the ways in which that conviction contributed to the war effort; even when it became clear that the South would not win. Informed by thorough research; Southern Invincibility is the historical investigation of a psychology that continues to define the South.
