In this revealing and important work, the award-winning author provides excerpts from the writings, speeches, letters, and poems of some 200 Southerners (mostly former C.S. soldiers), who describe, in their own words, why they seceded from the U.S. and took up arms against their American cousins to the North. For added context Seabrook also includes pertinent writings from Southern women, Southern civilians, Northern civilians, and even several Union veterans, who also supported the momentous campaign that Southerners appropriately referred to as “the bedrock of the Southern Confederacy.”
Get the facts about the Southern Cause from the only truly reliable source, Confederate veterans—the men who created it and risked their lives for it—in this historically accurate work that preserves an essential and much neglected aspect of genuine American history. Illustrated with rare Confederate photos from the 1860s, I, Confederate includes a preface, introduction, notes, index, and bibliography. Also available in paperback.
