How Southern socialites rewrote Civil War history

Of the 3 tenants listed, the first one is the only correct one. Yes, the soldiers who fought and died for the south were heroic. The rest is pure BS.
The common soldier who fought were fed a BS line about freedom, liberty, and states rights by the well-to-do cotton merchants and plantation owners, when in reality it was all about profit for those few individuals.

When any war is over winners and loser try to glorify their side.

Great video share Chip.
