DESCRIPTION

Truth is mighty & will eventually prevail"
Political Correctness, Neo-Confederates, and Robert E. Lee
by Peter S. Carmichael

"While northerners might appear comparatively apathetic about the memory of the Union cause, white southerners have been tenacious in searching for moral clarity in the past."
