Baptized in Blood : The Religion of the Lost Cause, 1865-1920 PDF
by Charles Reagan Wilson
Description
Southerners may have abandoned their dream of a political nation after Appomattox, but they preserved their cultural identity by blending Christian rhetoric and symbols with the rhetoric and imagery of Confederate tradition.
Out of defeat emerged a civil religion that embodied the Lost Cause.
As Charles Reagan Wilson writes in his new preface, ""The Lost Cause version of the regional civil religion was a powerful expression, and recent scholarship affirms its continuing power in the minds of many white southerners.
