Written by the Victors? Heather Cox Richardson on How the South Won the Civil War

After years of war and countless lives, Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox sealed the fate of the Confederate cause and conceded defeat… or so we thought. In the new book, How the South Won the Civil War: Oligarchy, Democracy, and the Continuing Fight for the Soul of America, Boston College Professor of History Heather Cox Richardson illuminates the history of how the ideology of the Confederacy survived in the myth of the American West, and how a paradoxical rugged individualism gave rise to the modern Conservative movement. Richardson is led in conversation by Professor of History at Yale Joanne Freeman. Recorded on May 6, 2020
