Would you bother to read a history of the Democratic party written from the Democratic party's point of view? If you buy into the Lost Cause Myths, you are doing exactly that. The Myths were invented a century ago by the Democrat Party to make the Democrats palitable to Northerners who didn't know any better.
Lots of things change over centuries, but one constant is that the Democrats will tell any lie they can to get votes.

"If you buy into the Lost Cause Myths, you are doing exactly that.

Would even you deny that the Union's story of the so-called Civil War is a myth written to justify the wanton killing and destruction that the Union armies performed to maintain the federal government's ability to extort taxes from the profits of Southern labour?
