1866 1stED THE LOST CAUSE CONFEDERATE CIVIL WAR SLAVERY LINCOLN CSA JEFF DAVIS. HISTORY OF THE LATE WAR. It will be a glorious day for our country when all the children within its borders shall learn that the four years of fratricidal war between the North and South was waged by neither with criminal or unworthy intent, but by both to protect what they conceived to be threatened rights and imperiled liberty: that the issues which divided the sections were born when the Republic was born, and were forever buried in an ocean of fraternal blood. What wonderful words these are from one of the finest generals to serve the Confederacy. However, no matter how wonderful the words, they are all for naught if one doesn't understand what drove one American to take up arms against another American.

This book "The Lost Cause" makes no attempt to tell both sides of the story. You are taught the Union side in every classroom, in every school, in every city, in every county, in every state of this great nation of ours.

This is an attempt to show you that, regardless of what you were taught, there is another side, and you are entitled to know what it was. So sit back, relax, let your mind wander back across the years to the Ante Bellum era. Let's see what the Southerner thought he was fighting for. THE FACTS OF THE WAR OF THE CONFEDERATES IN AMERICA HAVE BEEN AT THE MERCY OF MANY TEMOORARY AGENTS; THEY HAVE BEEN EITHER CONFOUNDED WITH SENSATIONAL RUMORS OR DESCOLORED BY VIOLENT PREJUDICES: IN THIS CONDITION THEY ARE NOT ONLY NOT HISTORY, BUT FALSE SCHOOLS OF PRESENT PUBLIC OPINION. BY COMPOSING A SEVERELY JUST ACCOUNT OF THE WAR ON THE BASIS OF CONTEMPORARY EVIDENCE - ASCERTAINING AND TESTING ITS FACTS, COMBINING THEM IN COMPANT NARRATIVE AND ILLUSTRATING THEM BY CAREFUL ANALYSES OF THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS, NOT ONLY IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT IN EUROPE, THE AUTHOR ASPIRES TO PLACE THE HISTORY OF THE WAR ABOVE POLITICAL MISREPRESENTATIONS, TO DRAW IT FROM DISGUISING AND CONCEALMENTS, AND TO MAKE IT COMPLETE IN THREE DEPARTMENTS: THE RECORD OF FACTS; THE ACCOUNTS OF PUBLIC OPINION EXISTING WITH THEM; AND THE LESSONS THEIR CONTEXTS SHOULD CONVEY OR INSPIRE.

THESE THREE ARE THE JUST ELEMENTS OF HISTORY. IF THE AUTHOR SUCCEEDS IN WHAT HE PROPOSES, HE WILL HAVE NO REASON TO BOAST THAT HE HAS PRODUCED ANY GREAT LITERARY WONDER; BUT HE WILL CLAIM THAT HE HAS MADE AN IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO TRUTH, AND DONE SOMETHING TO SATISFY CURIOSITY WITHOUT "SENSATION" AND TO FORM PUBLIC OPINION WITHOUT VIOLENCE. THE AUTHOR DESIRES TO ADD AN EXPLANATION OF THE PLAN OF COMPOSITION HE HAS PURSUED IN THE WORK. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WRITE HISTORY AS AN INTELLIGIBLE WHOLE, AND TO SECURE ITS ENDS, WITHOUT PRESERVING A CERTAIN DRAMATIC UNITY IN THE NARRATIVE. IT IS BY SUCH UNITY THAT THE LESSON OF HISTORY IS CONVEYED, AND IT'S IMPRESSION PROPERLY EFFECTED; AND TO DO THIS IT BECOMES NECESSARY TO DISCARD FROM THE NARRATIVE ANY SMALL INCIDENTS, EITHER EPISODAL IN THEIR NATURE, OR OF NO IMPORTANCE IN THE LOGICAL CHAIN OF EVENTS.

WITH THIS VIEW, THE AUTHOR HAS PAID BUT LITTLE ATTENTION TO SMALL OCCURRENCES OF THE WAR WHICH IN NO WAY AFFECTED ITS GENERAL FORTUNES, AND HAS MEASURED HIS ACCOUNTS OF BATTLES AND OF OTHER EVENTS BY THE ACTUAL EXTENT OF THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE GRAND ISSUES OF THE CONTEST. INSTEAD OF A CONFUSED CHRONOLOGICAL COLLECTION OF EVENTS, HE HAS SOUGHT TO PREPARE FOR THE READER A COMPACT AND LOGICAL NARRATIVE THAT WILL KEEP HIS ATTENTION CLOSE TO THE MAIN MOVEMENT OF THE STORY, AND PUT INSTRUCTION AS TO CAUSES HAND IN HAND WITH THE INFORMATION OF EVENTS.
