Story of the Confederate States

Whatever your position on the War Between the States, this is a classic piece of history worth having in any home. The author is a master of his subject; he begins with the formation of the United States and the constitutional principles that made this country different from all other countries in world history. He proceeds to cover the political developments in the North and South that led to irreconcilable differences between the different regions. Undeniable truthts, untainted by revisionist historians are found in this volume, from original source materials. Agree with Derry's conclusions or not, no one can read this book without forming a deep, abiding respect for the southern soldiers and citizenry, a people who pressed on despite overwhelming hardships; and a book which will show the reader that many issues distant from slavery were the real root of this war.
