Synopsis
In their fight to free themselves from a social and political system opposed to their way of life, Confederate Southerners often compared themselves to the American revolutionaries of 1776. Although they believed they were revolutionaries, the Confederates fought not to overthrow but to protect their society. Their war backfired, and profoundly altered Southern life. In this book the author shows how conservative revolutions have a way of getting out of hand and transforming the institutions they were meant to preserve.Book Details
