The Creation of Confederate Nationalism: Ideology and Identity in the Civil War South
For decades, historians have debated the meaning and significance of Confederate nationalism and the role it played in the outcome of the Civil War. Yet they have paid little attention to the actual development and content of this Confederate ideology. In The Creation of Confederate Nationalism, Drew Gilpin Faust argues that coming to a fuller understanding of southern thought during the Civil War period offers a valuable refraction of the essential assumptions on which the Old South and the Confederacy were built. She shows the benefits of exploring Confederate nationalism "as the South's commentary upon itself, as its effort to represent southern culture to the world at large, to history, and perhaps most revealingly, to its own people."

Faust's analysis of Confederate nationalism gives us a deepened understanding of the Confederate self-image. Well written, clearly argued, and even properly illustrated, it constitutes
must reading for all students and admirers of the Lost Cause.
