1867 Confederate The Lost Cause Pollard Civil War White Supremacy SLAVERY CSA. Edward Pollard was a notable American writer on the Civil War whose works, predominantly, covered the history of the American South. He wrote about slavery, the rise of Ku Klux Klan, the life of President Jefferson Davis, as well as an impressive account of the rise and fall of the Confederacy. The latter, titled The Lost Cause, was Pollards most famous work, though not necessarily because of its popularity.
