Paul D. Escott Quotes
For Almost One Hundred Years, Leaders Of The White South Managed To Freeze Race Relations And Racial Ideology In Something Close To The Confederate Pattern, Thus Demonstrating That The Passage Of Time By Itself Does Not Erase A Conflicted Past. Elite Southern Men And Women Created An Ideology Of The Lost Cause That Wrapped Antebellum Society, The Confederacy, Reconstruction, And Postwar Racism In The Mantle Of A Protective, Laudatory Myth. The Lost Cause Portrayed The White South As Cultured, Chivalrous, And Superior While Making The North Into The Aggressor - Crude, Unprincipled, And Vindictive.
[...] Even After 1900 The Lost Cause Ideology Continued To Gain Strength Under The Leadership Of A New Generation, Until Most Southern Whites Came To Believe That Their History And The Myth Were Identical [75 - 76].
