History, it's said, is written by the winners. Thus, one must look long and hard to find an account of the Civil War from the South's perspective. What was the primary cause for their secession and rebellion? When fewer than one in seven that fought owned slaves it was clearly not to preserve the institution. Why then? The reader may find it interesting that the South's president, Jefferson Davis -- from whose 1890 book "A Short History of the Confederate States of America" introductory chapters are included -- likened the South's struggle for independence with the country's break from Britain four score earlier. Written in 1895 for younger audiences, "History of the War for Southern Independence: The Story of the Confederate States" offers a rare perspective on what the North called "The Great Rebellion." Handier than the free PDFs on the web, this you can hold, bookmark, highlight and shelve. An inexpensive imperative for any history buff.

You were lied to about the nature, character, and cause of the American "Civil War," but that is just the start. The entire South--its people, culture, history, customs, both past and present--has been and continues to be lied about and demonized by the unholy trinity of the American establishment: Academia, Hollywood, and the Media.In the midst of the anti-South hysteria currently infecting the American psyche--the banning of flags, charges of hate and "racism," the removal and attempted removal of Confederate monuments, the renaming of schools, vandalism of monuments and property displaying the Confederate Battle Flag, and even physical assaults, albeit rarely at present, on people who display the symbols of the South--Shotwell Publishing offers this unapologetic, unreconstructed, pro-South eBook to the world as a FREE GIFT with the hope that it will reach those who are left that are not afraid to question the sanity of this cultural purge and the veracity of its narrative concerning the South.

Dr. Charles T. Pace has been the first to use a precisely accurate term for the U.S. Civil War---the War to Prevent Southern Independence. In this work he traces how what he calls the Northern Money Party preferred war to allowing the South to get free of its economic domination. He reveals aspects of Abraham Lincoln's life and actions that even Prof. Thomas DiLorenzo missed. Along the way, reflecting on his long career as a family physician in North Carolina, the author describes what was good in a Southern life shared by blacks and whites over many generations.

John Bell Hood, a native of Kentucky bred on romantic notions of the Old South and determined to model himself on Robert E. Lee, had a tragic military career, no less interesting for being calamitous. After conspicuous bravery in leading a Texas brigade, he rose in the ranks to become the youngest of the full generals of the Confederacy. The misfortune in store for Hood, a far better fighter than a strategist, illustrates the strain and risks of high command. One of the lasting images to come out of the Civil War is that of the one-legged General Hood strapped in his saddle, leading his men in a hopeless counter-offensive against Sherman's march on Atlanta. In this prize-winning book Richard M. McMurry spares no details of Hood's ultimate "complete and disastrous failure," but he is concerned to do justice to one of the most maligned and misunderstood figures in Civil War history.

Just a touch here and a tweak there . . . . MacKinlay Kantor, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, master storyteller, shows us how the South could have won the Civil War, how two small shifts in history (as we know it) in the summer of 1863 could have turned the tide for the Confederacy. What would have happened: to the Union, to Abraham Lincoln, to the people of the North and South, to the world? If the South Had Won the Civil War originally appeared in Look Magazine nearly half a century ago. It immediately inspired a deluge of letters and telegrams from astonished readers and became an American classic overnight. Published in book form soon after, Kantor's masterpiece has been unavailable for a decade. Now, this much requested classic is once again available for a new generation of readers and features a stunning cover by acclaimed Civil War artist Don Troiani, a new introduction by award-winning alternate history author Harry Turtledove, and fifteen superb illustrations by the incomparable Dan Nance. It all begins on that fateful afternoon of Tuesday, May 12, 1863, when a deplorable equestrian accident claims the life of General Ulysses S. Grant . . . . At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
