Award-winning author and historian Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook has done it again. He's given traditional Southerners yet another book that not only rectifies many of the notoriously false Yankee myths floating around out there, but one that makes Southerners genuinely proud to be Southern!
This brief work, provocatively entitled Give This Book to a Yankee! A Southern Guide to the Civil War For Northerners, is a loose distillation of his international blockbuster, Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner! Pared down several hundred pages for quick reading, as the title suggests, Give This Book to a Yankee! makes an excellent gift for your Northern friends, or even for fellow Southerners who have been inculcated with pro-North nonsense, and who need reeducating as to Dixie's authentic history.
The book's nineteen chapters cover the most salient aspects of what Colonel Seabrook likes to call Lincoln's War, including such topics as the true cause behind the conflict, the legality of secession, race relations in the Old South and the Old North, myths about so-called slavery, the real origins of the American abolition movement, Jeff Davis, Abe Lincoln, the Emancipation Proclamation, the treatment of blacks in the Confederate and Union armies, the KKK, Reconstruction, and much more. For scholars the volume comes with over 200 endnotes and a bibliography. The Foreword is by African-American educator Karen Cooper of the Virginia Flaggers.
Heavily researched and illustrated, Give This Book to a Yankee! is an essential weapon anyone can use to defend Dixie and the Southern Cause, making it a must-have for traditional Southerners, Civil War buffs, and teachers. Keep several copies on hand to give out. You never know when you're going to bump into an unenlightened Yank or reconstructed Southerner! Available in paperback and hardcover.
Neo-Victorian historian Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is one of the most prolific and popular writers in the world today. A descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens, John S. Mosby, Edmund W. Rucker, and William Giles Harding, he is known by literary critics as the new Shelby Foote and the American Robert Graves, and by his fans as the Voice of the Traditional South. The Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and currently the author and editor of 100 scholarly books. Described by his readers as game changers and life-altering, his voluminous writings have introduced hundreds of thousands to vital facts that have been left out of our mainstream books. A 7th generation Kentuckian of Appalachian heritage and the 6th great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford, Col. Seabrook has a 45-year background in American and Southern history, and is the author of the worldwide bestseller Abraham Lincoln Was a Liberal, Jefferson Davis Was a Conservative: The Missing Key to Understanding the American Civil War.
His other titles include: Lincoln's War: The Real Cause, the Real Winner, the Real Loser; The Concise Book of Owls; Seabrook's Bible Dictionary of Traditional and Mystical Christian Doctrines; The Bittersweet Bond: Race Relations in the Old South as Described by White and Black Southerners; The Martian Anomalies: A Photographic Search for Intelligent Life on Mars; The Great Yankee Coverup; Confederacy 101: Amazing Facts You Never Knew About America's Oldest Political Tradition; Support Your Local Confederate: Wit and Humor in the Southern Confederacy; Confederate Flag Facts: What Every American Should Know About Dixie's Southern Cross; Women in Gray; Everything You Were Taught About American Slavery is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!
