The Myth of the Lost Cause

Along with the failure of the Southern Alliance and the rise of morale, the myth of loss cause will make the myth of the lost cause a reality, making it a true hero who made the southern soldier alive or dead. Southern people mentally changed the memory of their war in front of the south to solve the expression of failure and the failure seen from God. It became a noble and pure civilization, cruelly destroyed by the materialist Yankees.

The memory of the Southern South War is reflected in the myth called "cause of loss" and forms a geographical identity and an ethnic relationship between generations. Alan T. Nolan pointed out that "the cause of the loss" is clearly "rationalization obscuring the reputation and reputation of the rebels." Some assertions centered on slavery, some appealing highlight the cultural differences between the North and the North, military conflicts of federal officials are idealized, and in any case, the division It is regarded as legitimate. Killing the "bad racial discrimination" of the 19th century and thinking that unification of north and south will be promoted from the viewpoint of "reason for loss" while sacrificing the progress of African-American in the consolidation of white people. He also believes that the reason for the loss is "a caricature of the truth, this kind of manga is completely distorted, distorting the truth of the fact."

Despite the rich history of the Civil War, many southern people still adhere to the myth of "the cause of loss" and the sublime efforts aimed at protecting the ability to manage themselves in the face of northern invasion doing. This deeply false story is the result of revisionism in the southern legend and is decades trying to create a more acceptable version of regional history. Navy memorials and other symbols are part of this effort

All of the above topics appear in the myth of civil warfare failure. Unfortunately, after the war, they have not completely disappeared over the century and a half. Especially especially in popular culture. Notable examples include the film 'Birth of the Country' (1915), 'Gone with the Wind' (1939), Recent Gods and General (2003). Today, some historians insist on these myths (most of them are not mainstream scholars). In a more extreme form, these myths still exist in the group of New Alliance and other hatred.
