- Saving the Living South
Sep 25, 2026 · original
Debating 19th-century history, constitutional theory, and the causes of the War Between the States remains a central focus for many Southern commentators. Unpacking the complexities of the 1860s and challenging popular historical myths is a long-standing intellectual endeavor. However, an overwhelming focus on the past has created a dangerous blind spot: while activists spend their energy arguing over historical narratives... - A Criticism Wrought with Praise: Southern Backwardness in the Age of Progress
Sep 24, 2026 · original
“There are great defects in that character—peculiar defects of accident; but there is also the sum of many virtues. The people of the South are brave to a fault; they are generous to credulity, polite, hospitable, cherishing many noble virtues which the commercial spirit of the age has elsewhere outgrown; but they have all the peculiar faults of an untraveled... - Distorted History Courtesy of “Taliban” Ty

The PragerU video “Was the Civil War About Slavery?” has floated around for a few years. The speaker is a bald-headed individual reminiscent of the character in The Outer Limits episode entitled “The Sixth Finger”; however, the advanced intelligence level of the character in the show is not a factor in this comparison. This individual — Ty Seidule — is... - Cultural Heritage and Collective Memory
Sep 22, 2026 · original
I grew up going to Civil War reenactments and commemoration events. As far back as I can remember, I always had an interest in the solemn pageantry of it all and loved talking with the men who were honoring their own ancestors in uniform. Having ancestors on both sides of the conflict myself, I had a sincere respect for what... - Thomas Jordan

Research and Writing Needed for Southern History, Part 2 Of many interesting Confederate characters one of the most colorful was Brig. Gen. Thomas Jordan, a brilliant and multi-talented soldier who deserves a full biography. Since some of his career was in military intelligence (then known as “secret service”), in the nature of the case research might present some problems. Born... - Yankee Antinomianism at Work Again in Massachusetts
Sep 18, 2026 · original
Yankees have an inverted sense of justice in which the victim is blameworthy and guilty of wrong and the perpetrator is innocent. The Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Massachusetts, which has captured the attention of so many people, is an excellent example of this. Most media outlets have tried to generalize this trial as a part of ‘American culture’, just... - What Was the Lost Cause?
Sep 17, 2026 · original
Originally posted at Mindy Esposito’s Substack. “That’s just the Lost Cause Myth.” But when I ask someone to tell me what the “Lost Cause Myth” actually was, all I hear is crickets… Still, I get some version of that sentence hurled as an accusation all the time. Sometimes it lands on me. Sometimes I watch it thrown at someone else.... - Being Andrew Burstein
Sep 16, 2026 · original
A review of Being Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate History (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2026) by Andrew Burstein “It is a truism that every attempt at history writing and biography is an improvisation, including this one.” ~Andrew Burstein “Improvising” is equivalent to “winging it.” I cannot agree that all history is improvisation. I cannot even concede that improvisation ought to be acceptable in any part... - Omnipotent Moral Busybodies
Sep 15, 2026 · original
C. S. Lewis wrote that “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own... - Northern Men of Southern Principles
Sep 14, 2026 · original
Research and Writing Needed for Southern History, Part 1 The standard interpretation of the War between the States is that the North was righteously united in Lincoln’s war on the South except for a few sneaky “Copperheads,” a tiny minority of disreputable conspirators. Like most prevalent Union assumptions about the war, this is false, a belief made acceptable only in...
