A True Vindication of the South By: Thomas Manson Norwood
|
ABOUT THE BOOKOriginally published in 1917, the chief purpose for this book is to establish the justice of the South's action before, during, and after the war between the Northern and Southern States in 1861-65. The author shows that the South was in the right and was justified in every issue between her and the North, and he fastens the responsibility for the disruption of the Union and the resulting deaths over a half-million men where it historically, lawfully, and morally belongs. | |||
