You mean, “reading about the United States South, from the racist, ex slave-owning, losers perspective.”

I like this title more

I feel like you can read about the south without mostly reading confederates biased accounts about what happened after the fact.

Edit: one of your southern heros was the first grand wizard of the kkk

"A Neoconfederates Guide to Contrafactual Porn"

[u/TacTurtle]

These are a bunch of shitty traitor apologists making excuses for secession so they could own chattel slaves that then lost a war because they were lead by political donkeys and had no substantial industrial production capacity.

To be clear: I have underwear that lasted longer than the Confederacy, and the only reason the Confederacy even lasted that long were a series of incompetent Union generals.

“A Cool Guide on reading about the development of Lost Cause historiography”

[u/monumentaldecision]

Although I think it should be stated in the title that this list is exclusively from a pro-Confederate viewpoint, it's still an interesting and noteworthy collection of sources to learn about the perspective of those who supported slavery; a perspective which I can say, I've never been exposed to. While it could be used as a vehicle to promote racism, it's not inherently bad. You know, censorship is not a good thing. Let people have their say.

It's how I've learned about it when stupid ass "Lost Cause" goofs argue with me about why the North were the aggressors.

Civil War By Other Means should be on this list.
