The Lost Causes

""The Lost Causes: A New Southern History Of The War Of The Confederates"" is a book written by Edward Alfred Pollard. It is a historical account of the American Civil War from the perspective of the Confederacy. The author argues that the Confederacy was fighting for a just cause and that the war was not primarily about slavery, but about states' rights and the preservation of a way of life. The book covers the major battles of the war, as well as the political and social climate of the Confederacy. It also includes the author's personal experiences as a Confederate soldier. Pollard's writing reflects the attitudes and beliefs of the time in which it was written, and has been criticized for its biased and romanticized portrayal of the Confederacy. Nevertheless, the book remains a significant historical document and a valuable resource for understanding the Confederate perspective on the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
