Lecture, Q&A, and Book Signing with\u00a0Stephanie McCurry Ph.D., author of\u00a0Confederate Reckoning: Power and Politics in the Civil War South<\/em><\/h1>\n

The story of the Confederate States of America, the proslavery, antidemocratic nation created by white Southern slaveholders to protect their property, has been told many times in heroic and martial narratives. Now, however, Stephanie McCurry Ph.D. tells a very different tale of the Confederate experience. When the grandiosity of Southerners’ national ambitions met the harsh realities of wartime crises, unintended consequences ensued. Although Southern statesmen and generals had built the most powerful slave regime in the Western world, they had excluded the majority of their own people\u2014white women and slaves\u2014and thereby sowed the seeds of their demise.<\/p>\n
