The Lost Causes - Edward Alfred Pollard

The Lost Causes: A New Southern History Of The War Of The Confederates is a book written by Edward Alfred Pollard that explores the history of the American Civil War from a Southern perspective. The book was first published in 1867, just two years after the end of the war, and provides a unique insight into the events that led up to the conflict, the battles that were fought, and the aftermath of the war.Pollard was a journalist and editor who supported the Confederacy during the war, and his book reflects his personal beliefs and biases. He argues that the Southern cause was just and that the Confederacy was fighting for its constitutional rights and the preservation of its way of life. He also criticizes the Union for its aggression and for violating the principles of states' rights and individual liberty.The Lost Causes covers a wide range of topics related to the Civil War, including the political and economic factors that led to secession, the military strategies of both sides, and the impact of the war on Southern society. The book also includes detailed accounts of some of the most significant battles of the war, such as Gettysburg and Antietam.Despite its controversial perspective, The Lost Causes remains an important historical document that sheds light on the mindset of many Southerners during and after the Civil War. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the United States and the legacy of the Confederacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
