The Lost Cause is a historical book written by Edward A. Pollard. The book is about the American Civil War and its aftermath. The author presents a perspective that is often referred to as the ""Lost Cause"" interpretation of the Civil War. This interpretation argues that the Confederacy was fighting for a noble cause, namely states' rights, and that the Union was fighting for economic and political domination. The book also explores the aftermath of the war, including the Reconstruction period and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. The Lost Cause is a controversial book that has been criticized for its romanticization of the Confederacy and its defense of slavery. However, it remains an important historical document that provides insight into the post-war attitudes of many Southerners.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1890 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
