The book delves into the enduring stigma faced by Southerners post-Civil War, highlighting how Confederate veterans were marginalized and their symbols suppressed. It examines the historical narrative that labels them as "traitors" while asserting that the war was solely about slavery. The ongoing anti-South sentiment is explored, noting contemporary issues such as the banning of the Confederate Flag, defacement of graves, and the removal of monuments, revealing a persistent cycle of conflict over historical memory and identity.
