LITTLE LECTURES - "A Union State's Confederate Idol"

West Virginia is commonly viewed as a bastion of Union support during the Civil War that broke away from Virginia following its secession. Yet today the Mountain State landscape has its share of Confederate monuments, including many dedicated to Stonewall Jackson. Straley’s lecture highlights how the Lost Cause movement enjoyed considerable success in West Virginia throughout the 20th century. Lost Cause supporters carved out a space for the state in Confederate memory and succeeded in recasting Clarksburg native Stonewall Jackson as a model West Virginian. Steven Cody Straley is the National Register Coordinator at the West Virginia State Historic Preservation Office. He is a graduate of Marshall University, a native of Wayne County, and author of A Constant Reminder to All: Stonewall Jackson, the Lost Cause, and the Making of a Civil War Idol from 35th Star Publishing. 0:00 Introduction 1:53 Lecture starts 4:53 Jackson and West Virginia during the war 10:20 Overview of the Lost Cause 22:47 Confederate monuments/activities in WV 31:03 Messages of the monuments 36:32 Making Jackson a "West" Virginian 44:27 Current controversies 48:21 Q&A
