This is not your average U.S. history book. After the Civil War, the Confederates may have laid down their arms, but they were far from accepting defeat. By warping the narrative around what really happened during and after the Civil War, they created an alternate history now known as the Lost Cause. This book sets the record straight and explains the true history of the Civil War, and its complex and far-reaching aftermath.

A Kirkus Reviews starred review calls Bausum's book,"essential reading."

Ann Bausum writes history for readers of all ages. Her books for young people help upper elementary, middle school, and high school students discover the drama and significance of stories from the past that may barely be presented in textbooks. In 2015 her adopted home state named her the year's Notable Wisconsin Children's Author. Two years later, the body of her work received national recognition with the Nonfiction Award of the Children's Book Guild of Washington, D.C.
