The book explores the enduring stigma faced by Southerners following the Civil War, highlighting how Confederate veterans were marginalized and their symbols actively suppressed. It delves into the historical context of post-war discrimination, including the prohibition against wearing uniforms and honoring fallen soldiers. The narrative connects past grievances to contemporary issues, such as the banning of the Confederate Flag and the defacement of monuments, illustrating a persistent anti-South sentiment that continues to provoke debate and division in modern society.
