Victorian Confederate Poetry

More about the book

The emotional drive behind the Southern people's efforts during the Civil War is revealed through the poignant poetry of the Confederacy, which has largely been overlooked in historical narratives. Following the war, Liberal Yankees reshaped the story, obscuring the constitutionality of secession and diminishing the significance of Southern sentiment. This book seeks to reclaim the lost voices of Southern poets, highlighting their vital contributions that have faded from collective memory and emphasizing the cultural loss resulting from their disappearance.
