The “Lost Cause” Is A Lie To Pretend #Southerners’ Ancestors Weren’t #Racist F%cks

"Until a few years ago, I was among the thousands of #Southerners who never knew they had kin buried under Union Army headstones."

#Secession and #slavery were not as popular among the masses as they want you to think:
"two-thirds of #Alabama families did not own enslaved people"

"after the Compromise of 1877 ended #Reconstruction, plantation oligarchs regained control of Southern legislatures and state universities started churning out history books that ignored Black people and poor Whites"

2/21 The 1860 #election of #AbrahamLincoln became the "last straw" for #Southerners.

Alabama #secession documents declared: "the election of Mr. Lincoln cannot be regarded otherwise than a solemn declaration...of hostility to the South, her property and her institutions" (which, as we've seen, was precisely slavery).

In other words, the #CivilWar was a rejection of — and retaliation to — *a presidential election with progressive results.*
