This little book is an excellent source which concisely states the Southern point of view of the War Between the States. It may be read quickly and referred to repeatedly to counteract much of the revision of Southern history that is rampant these days. Four main points are covered: 1. It was primarily a people's war in that the whole heart of Dixie was in it. As a people, the South deeply deplored, but bravely accepted it, and fought it through to the end, the bitter end. 2. Upon the part of the South, it was a justifiable war and the author proceeds to tell how that was. 3. It was a Great War in its magnitude. There were, during the four years, three thousand one hundred twenty conflicts of arms. The total cost of the war has been estimated at $8,000,000,000. Property destroyed is beyond computation. 4. It was a hopeless war. As General Lee said to General Pendleton a day or two before the surrender, "I never believed that we could, against the gigantic combination for our subjugation, make good in the long run our Independence, unless foreign powers should directly or indirectly assist us. But such considerations really made with me no difference. If all were to be done over again, I should act in precisely the same manner. I could have taken no other course without dishonor."
