The Myth of the Lost Cause
This selection reflects the pride of the confederacy that has been passed down for generations.
During the Civil War, Confederates believed the South was a new country, entirely
separate from the United States. After the Confederates lost the war, many southerners remained
proud that they had fought so long and hard. They believed a smaller country (the Confederacy)
had the right to protect itself from a larger one (the Union). This idea became known as the
“myth of the lost cause” because the Confederates lost the war.
For generations, many southerners honored the “lost cause.” In fact, some people still
believe it today. They celebrate former Confederate leaders and soldiers, and they role play Civil
War battles. Tourists travel to the South every year to watch these re-enactments.
