If you suspect that most of the
conventional "wisdom" about the Civil War, slavery, and states'
rights has been hijacked by Northeast liberals, then you're
going to love The
Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War. This
provocative and entertaining new "P.I.G." exposes the real
reasons the South tried to secede and why the war between the states
was not really about abolishing
slavery.
Charging through battlefields and
bunkers, bestselling author H.W. Crocker III treats readers to a
rousing, rollicking guide to the great and terrible war that shaped
America. He also explains why the Southern states had more in common
with our Founding Fathers and the spirit of the Declaration
of Independence than most history textbooks admit.
In The
Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War
Crocker profiles eminent—and colorful—military generals such as
the noble Lee, the controversial Sherman, and the notorious Nathan
Bedford Forrest. He also includes thought-provoking chapters
such as "The History of the War in Sixteen Battles You Should
Know" and the most devastatingly politically incorrect chapter of
all, "What If the South Had Won?" Along the way, Crocker
reveals little-known truths that your history teacher didn't tell you,
including:
- How, if there had been no Civil
War, the South would have abolished slavery peaceably
- Why leading Northern
generals—like McClellan and Sherman—hated abolitionists
- How the Confederate
States of America might have helped the Allies win World
War I sooner
- How bombing people "back to
the Stone Age" got its start with the Federal
siege of Vicksburg
- Why General
James Longstreet fought the Battle
of Sharpsburg in his carpet slippers
The
Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War is a joyful,
myth-busting, rebel
yell that shatters today's Leftist and demeaning stereotypes
about the South and the Civil War—showing why, in G.
K. Chesterton's words, "America and the whole world is
crying out for the spirit of the Old South." Civil
War buffs, Southern partisans, and everyone who is tired of
liberal self-hatred that vilifies America's greatest heroes—must
have this book on their bookshelf.
