Baptized in blood : the religion of the Lost Cause, 1865-1920
Charles Reagan Wilson (Author)
Southerners may have abandoned their dream of a political nation after Appomattox, but they preserved their cultural identity. Out of defeat emerged a civil religion that embodied the Lost Cause. This book states that the Lost Cause version of the regional civil religion was a powerful expression.
