The Great Yankee Coverup by Lochlainn Seabrook - Civil War Hardcover

206 pgs. Illustrated. Subtitle: "What the North Doesn't Want You to Know About Lincoln's War" Whatever you were taught in school about the War Between the States is not only wrong, it’s an intentional fabrication to hide the truth. In his groundbreaking work, Civil War scholar Lochlainn Seabrook reveals a 150 year conspiracy to suppress the facts about the War, exploding hundreds of falsehoods and myths that have been presented to us as “true history.” Did you know, for example, that the South fought to preserve the Constitution while the North fought to overturn it? That the U.S.A. was created as a confederacy, that it was widely known as the “Confederate States of America,” and that this is why the South adopted this name when it seceded from the Union? That the Southern states seceded legally with no intention of destroying the Union, and that their only goal was to perpetuate the original confederate republic formed by the Founding Fathers? Did you know that Confederate President Jefferson Davis was a political Conservative who adopted a black child during the War and was already committed to abolishing slavery in early 1865, months before the War ended? Or that Union President Abraham Lincoln was a political Liberal who barred blacks from the White House, consistently blocked black civil rights, wanted to put African-Americans in their own all-black state, spent his entire adult life trying to deport blacks? You'll find why these facts have been concealed from us!
