Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
So in 2014, they asked Americans, what is the best book ever published? The Bible's number one, Gone with the Wind number two, Beats Out, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. And it is really the essence of the Lost Cause myth. And that book, which I read in the sixth grade, and it's a rollicking good story. And I went back and read it.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And all these myths of the Lost Cause are in there endemically. And so it has reinforced that all throughout American history. Exactly.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Right. Well, remember that. So the first thing to know is that these are all reinforcing. So in the 1890 to 1900, 1904, every southern state redoes its constitution. And they're all Jim Crow constitutions. They're to exclude black people. Remember that at this period, Mississippi and South Carolina are still majority African-American.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
So once they, using violence and terror, especially through Ku Klux Klan and other groups like that, they've now excluded the black people from the vote. To celebrate that, to celebrate the Redeemer movement, that whites are back in the saddle, are back in control, they put these monuments up, starting in 1890, really through 1920.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Das ist der gleiche Zeitpunkt, an dem das Linschen seine Höhe erreicht. Also, du hast die Kontrolle, die konstitutionelle Kontrolle, du hast gewaltige Kontrolle und du hast diese Monumenten, die hochgehen, um das zu feiern. Oft bezahlt von den wichtigsten Propagandisten und von einem der politisch die wichtigsten Gruppen in der amerikanischen Geschichte, den United Daughters of the Confederacy.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Sie haben all das ohne die Wahl gemacht. Also zwischen 1890 und 1920 Thousands of these monuments go up throughout the South, including the huge ones, like they are in Richmond and New Orleans, but also small ones in most southern counties in front of the courthouse.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
It's important, Don, to remember that they're going in public places so that black people will have to go by them and go into the courthouse, because the only way a black person can go into the courthouse is as a custodian or a defendant.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
So if you think about what this is, you have this all together, you have these new constitutions, you have voting laws that prevent black people from voting, you have a lynching, 5,000 black men, women and children lynched to support that, then you have the monuments which celebrate it and make it a civic pride.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Und all of these go together to create what is a racial police state, an apartheid state. And that's what I was born to in Virginia. That's what I was born into, is a racial police state that did not allow equality. But this lost cause myth is the ideological foundation of that racial police state.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Yeah, so that monument, which is, I think, the cruelest in the country, had an enslaved, overweight woman, a mammy figure, with a tear in her eye, taking the baby from her, quote-unquote, her enslaver, who is in Confederate uniform. And it's meant to show the kind master, the good slave. And there's another enslaved servant around on the other side. And this monument is sort of an F.U.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
to the United States of America, saying that we, the white South, the right, will always be right. And you, the United States of America, is always going to be wrong. But I am awfully happy to report that monument is not there anymore.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Und erinnere dich daran, warum dieses Monument aufkommt. Wenn du dieses rassistische Polizeistaat hast, ist es von einem Parti kontrolliert, dem demokratischen Parti. Also, um jemanden in Washington durch den Kongress zu bringen, musst du durch die demokratische Segregationistische Partei gehen, wie es damals war. Und so musst du sie beurteilen.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
William McKinley hat sie beurteilt, um Guam, Puerto Rico zu bekommen. Cuba, the Philippines from the Spanish-American War had to appease them. Franklin Roosevelt would have to appease them again in Social Security, which is why black people are excluded from Social Security, and that is to appease the white southern segregationists who control all the committees in Congress.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
So it's a really, really politically powerful movement that this lost cause forms the ideology for.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Yeah, that's a great question. I think that there's still this idea that Lee is a great guy. And it's also a way that you can give the white Southerners something and you can give them that and still go after other things. Oh yeah, Lee's still a good guy. Oh yeah, the Confederacy's still a good guy.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
But the United Artists of the Confederacy and this myth is so powerful by the 40s that most people are agreeing with it. Remember, Franklin Roosevelt dedicates the Lee Monument in Dallas in 1936. So it's still powerful. And most of the army bases that are in the South in World War I and World War II are named for Confederates, you know, in 1940, 42.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And as long as there are no voting rights for black people, this continues.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Yeah, I mean, it's so powerful. But again, the underlying power of it is to create a society where white people control the political, social, cultural power. And when that is threatened in any way, there is a reaction and has always been a reaction when that comes. And that it was violence first and then it was law and then it's been culture.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Every time there is a threat to that underlying power structure, boy, it is it is there's hell to pay. And we see that over and over again in American history.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Right. I mean, when I was a kid, my dad had the four flags of the Confederacy over our mantle. I grew up with these lies myself. And the four flags are the first one, which is sort of the stars and bars, which looks like it's a red, white, red. And it looks sort of like the stars and stripes.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And in fact, that's why they changed it, is that on the battlefield, they said it looks too much like the hated Yankees. And they changed it to the stainless banner. And the stainless banner is all white. mit in the one corner is what we think of today as a Confederate flag.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And it turns out, Don, that white on the battlefield, a white flag on the battlefield, not the best idea, because that's a flag of surrender. And it also gets really brown and yucky really quickly. And then it moves to the bloodstained banner, which the white one is called the stainless banner.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Then they put it right at the end of the war, at the very end of it, a red stripe, which becomes the bloodstained banner.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
But the one that we know of today is really Lee's Army of Northern Virginia flag. And it's chosen as the symbol of the Confederacy in the 1890s. So that's when it really becomes powerful, when the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans choose that one.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And this is when they also come up with the Southern Cross of Honor that goes on Confederate gravestones, which today the VA, the Veterans Administration, you can still get a Confederate flag. Headstone from the VA that has this Southern Cross of Honor. But the flag that we use today, never the flag of the Confederacy. But it has become a powerful symbol.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
But remember, it means the same thing today as it did then, which was white supremacy. That white people should control black people through slavery or through segregation, through Jim Crow. It has never had a good meaning before. In this country. And yet it's one of the most emblematic seals of America now next to the Stars and Stripes. But it is a symbol of treason and slavery.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Nein, es hat es nie gegeben. Und wir sollten uns daran erinnern, was es ist. Um euer Land zu lieben, ist es, die Menschen zu hassen, die US-Armee-Soldaten getötet haben, die versuchen, das Land zu zerstören.

Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Yeah, and it's not just out into west, it's actually into Brazil, where there's still a confederate community in Brazil. They go to Mexico, they go to Canada, and they continue, and then they go out west. And that's always part of what the confederate brand was, was expansion. One of the reasons they go to war is they want those western states to be slaves.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Because remember, if you have enslaved people, you want to continue to sell them. The price of enslaved persons is at an all-time high in 1860. You need more places to be able to sell those. Also, there are more enslaved people. In 1840, there's two and a half million enslaved people. By 1860, there's four million. So you need that western expansion. And with that western expansion, it continues.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
So in fact, to this day, there are more than a dozen people Wow, das ist unglaublich.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And the names are there too. You know, the names are out west as well. So there have been several good books about this recently that talk about how that continues. And I think we're now, we just never looked at this carefully for a century, for more than a century. And now that we are, the thing about it is once we do that and historians uncover this,
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
It takes years, it takes decades before it infiltrates into everyone's consciousness. And now that it has, then that upsets people who grew up with this myth. And that myth, then there is a reaction against that, what they grew up with. But it's out west. And it's not just out west, I think. We should think about how it manifests itself in the north as well.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
It actually becomes a part of the myth there, where Lee is, the Bronx used to have this Hall of Fame. Und Lee ist in dieser Hall of Fame auch da. Und in Wahrheit, einer der, einer der, die ich immer schaue, ist, ich weiß nicht, ob du jemals an der oberwesten Seite von Manhattan an Grant's Tomb gewesen bist. Ja, das ist großartig.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Also, es wurde da in den 1890er Jahren, gut nachdem Grant gestorben ist. Aber wenn du da rein gehst, das erste, was du siehst, ist dieses enorme, es ist wundervoll. Wenn du da jemals gewesen bist, ist es großartig. Und wenn du da rein gehst und es gibt ein riesiges Mosaik, sobald du rein gehst, von Lee und Grant schüttelnd. Also, Lee ist in einem Ort des Ehrens in Grant's Tomb.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
put there in 1965 during the Civil War Centennial. And that's where we get this idea that blue and gray are equal. There's Confederate and Union. There's Johnny Reb and Billy Yank. There's blue and gray. And that's why I always like to say it's the United States of America against a rebelling insurrectionist force.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Aber durch das Zivilkriegszentennial der 1960er-Jahre ist der Zivilrechts-Movement gegen diesen Zivilkriegs-Loss-Kause-Myth kombiniert. Und du siehst das in Grant's Tomb, wo sie gleich sind. Ich kann dir sagen, dass es keinen Grant in Lees' Tomb in Lexington, Virginia gibt. Du siehst diese Gleichheit der beiden Seiten, aber sie sind nicht gleich.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Yeah, so remember that that's what Grant does initially by giving such lenient terms. And Grant remembers, as others do, the bloodshed that came after the English Civil War, when Napoleon went into Spain and Portugal. So they remember that they're going to be kind, but white Southerners take advantage of this. Mm-hmm. ist James Longstreet.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Ja, der Verlustkost-Myth ist wie Kudzu, wenn du jemals in dem amerikanischen Süden gewohnt bist. Es hat tiefe Räume, die wie acht oder neun Fuß weit gehen. Es ist ein Import, der nicht wirklich da sein soll. Und auch wenn du es jeden Tag ausbreitest, wird es gleich wieder wachsen.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
So James Longstreet, probably the finest general in gray during the Civil War, and after the war becomes a Republican, good friend of Grant, fights with black soldiers in the militia in New Orleans to stop a coup attempt by white supremacists. And he is then banished from memory in the Confederacy.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
There were no statues of James Longstreet anywhere in the South until, I think there's one in 1980, and then there's one put up in Gettysburg, in the 1990s. He's banished because he participates as a Republican to work for biracial democracy. It tells the tale when you don't allow the greatest soldier in grey any statues because he's fighting for biracial democracy.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Ja, also ich denke, von den 1870er-1930er-Jahren wurden die Konfederaten als Träger gesehen. Sie verabschiedeten den Vertrag. Das ist Artikel 3. Sie verabschiedeten die Konstitution. Artikel 3, Section 3 ist, es gibt nur ein Verbrechen, das ist Verbrechen, das ist eine Waffenwaffe gegen die Vereinigten Staaten. Und so wurden sie als Träger gesehen.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
The first time that any Confederate commemoration comes is the 1930s, when black cadets come back for the first time. Then the 1950s, when the army is forced to integrate, more Confederate commemoration. 1970, early 70s, when minority admissions start. So Confederate commemoration at West Point is a reaction to integration. So it's there throughout that period of time.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Und dann, im Jahr 2020, verabschiedet sich der Kongress eine Gesetzgebung, die eine Kommission eröffnet, bei der ich als Vize-Vorsitzender gearbeitet habe, die Namen-Kommission, um alles zu entfernen, was die Konfederaten im Bereich der Verteidigung eröffnet. Und das wird von einer Supermajorität in der Hälfte der Repräsentanten und im Kongress verabschiedet.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Trump verabschiedet es, und es ist die einzige Verabschiedung, die der Kongress überreicht. Und das eröffnet diese Namen-Kommission, die ich war, und es verabschiedet alles. So at West Point right now, there is nothing that commemorates the Confederates and nothing in the Department of Defense that commemorates the Confederates.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
So I think that you can, you know, there's an old saying that you can count on the Americans to do the right thing after they've exhausted all other options. And that's that's a Churchill quote, I think. And so there is now nothing at West Point that does that. It gives me great pride to think that who we commemorate now at West Point reflects our values.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Well, it was actually a congressional commission with three Republicans, one Democrat and four retired flag or general admirals. And that was what we found 1,111 things that commemorated the Confederates in the Department of Defense. And now they're all gone, including that Confederate monument that's at Arlington. That was one of the things removed.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And we did it not because this commission said it, but because the United States Congress said it was the right thing to do.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And that is, again, slowly chipping away at this lost cause mythology, which we can do as Americans if we recognize the history and look at the history, which is, Don, which is what you're doing, is look at the background of this, understand why it's wrong, and then when we do that, we can do the right thing.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Oh man. So we would go, in the summer of 21, we went to each one of the bases that was going to change their name, all in the deep south and, well, from Virginia down. And the first thing they would say is, Ty, why are we doing this? And I said, oh, that's easy. We're doing it because Congress told us to. The second thing is you're changing history. And I would say, no, no.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Listen, every year at West Point, we're going to study the Battle of Gettysburg. Every year Pickett's going to charge and every year Lee's going to lose. That is not going to change. But what is changing is who we commemorate. Vielen Dank. Untertitelung. BR 2018 Untertitelung. BR 2018 Untertitelung. BR 2018 Untertitelung. BR 2018 Das war's. Vielen Dank. Vielen Dank.

Die Verletzungsfrage ist eine Religion. Es ist eine zivilistische Religion. Es ist ein Glaubenssystem. Und jede Religion braucht eine christliche Figur am Top. Und Lee ist die einzige Person in der Konferenz, die keinen Erfolg gehabt hat. Es hat nur vier Jahre gedauert. Und wenn Sie mich jetzt sehen können, habe ich eine große L auf meinem Kopf. Die Konferenzen waren große Verlierer.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
But Lee won in 62 and 63 before he was crushed by the United States Army General Ulysses S. Grant. So he becomes this mythic figure and also because he dies at the right time. He dies in 1870. He's alive only for five years after the war. So he becomes this mythic sense. And then there are Virginians who control the idea of who controls...
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
The knowledge, the history of the war is done by Virginians like Jubal Early and the Southern Historical Association. So they prop him up and make Virginia the most important part. And if Virginia is the most important part, then Lee is the most important part of the Virginia and the wars there. So yeah, Lee is the most important part.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Ja, aber reden wir mal über den echten Lee, wenn wir das können. Hier ist ein Typ, der von West Point in 1829 ausgebildet wurde und von allen gesagt wurde, dass er die einzige Person war, die dort ohne Zufriedenheit aufgewachsen ist, was nicht wahr ist. Es waren vier andere Leute in seiner Klasse, die das gemacht haben. Er geht in die Armee und seine Mutter stirbt bald danach.

Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Und wenn seine Mutter stirbt, bekommt er von seiner Mutter geschlossene Menschen. Und er bleibt von diesen geschlossenen Menschen profitieren. Bis er das Kind von George Washingtons geborenem Sohn heiratet. Und wenn er das tut, kommen noch mehr geschlossene Menschen in seinen Welt. Und dann, wenn sein Vater-in-Law stirbt, geht er nach Arlington und kontrolliert und fährt die Pflanze.

for two and a half years more time in charge of enslaved people until he finally chooses treason, which is what I say. He took an oath right three weeks before he left for the Confederacy to support and defend the United States of America and then chooses the Confederacy.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
So this is a guy who, and we can talk more about what he did during the war, but right leading up to the war, believed fully in slavery. And that's the most important thing to remember. This war is to protect and expand the institution of slavery.

It wasn't when I got there, because I was living on Lee Road by Lee Gate in Lee Housing Area by Lee Child Development Center. They gave a Lee Prize in Mathematics. There's a Lee Barracks there. Und das ist es, was mich wirklich auf meine Reise begonnen hat. Warum? Warum? Ich bin nach Washington und Lee Universität gegangen. Ich habe das verstanden. Warum war es da?

Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Und so ging ich und recherchierte, warum so viele Dinge nach Lee genannt wurden. An West Point, der Vereinigten Staaten Militärakademie. Und das hat mich wirklich auf meine Reise begonnen.

Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Ja, aber ich würde ein bisschen früher zurückgehen zu Generalordre 9, als Lee verabschiedet ist. Er verabschiedet sich, weil Grant seine Armee komplett zerstört hat. Und wenn er verabschiedet ist, gibt er uns einen Generalordre, der sagt, wir haben unsere Ehrensangst verloren, weil wir zu einer überwältigenden Kraft verloren sind. Well, it was a better army for a better cause.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Remember that all the enslaved were now leaving the South to fight with the United States of America. I don't like to say the Union Army. It's the United States of America. They wore the same blue uniform that I wore. And so that's really when it starts. But how do you deal with a catastrophe? They went to war to protect and expand slavery.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And then after the war, particularly with the 13th Amendment ending slavery, the 14th Amendment ending, Interesting. This is a very deliberate made thing.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Mit einem Zweifel. Und ich denke, das ist ein wichtiges Thema. Warum tun sie das? Der Grund, warum sie das tun, ist, eine neue Gesellschaft zu kreieren, die sich zur weißen Zufriedenheit zurückzieht und die Afro-Amerikaner im Süden keine politische Macht hat. Und sie tun es durch Gewalt und dann schlussendlich Gesetz.

Ja, ich meine, er hat geschrieben, er war, du weißt, oft ist es so, dass jeder, der zuerst schreibt, gewinnt. Und er hat zuerst geschrieben und er hat diese Idee des Verlustes geschrieben. Und es beginnt wirklich ein Prozess, um diesen Mythos zu erschaffen. Und ich denke, das wichtigste Ding ist, um zu sprechen, was ist dieser Verlust?
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Aber ja, Pollard schreibt über den Verlust und dann wird er von anderen Leuten, die aus den Vereinigten Staaten zurückkommen. Also ist Pollard der erste, er ist ein Journalist, er schreibt dieses Buch über den Verlust und es wird später auch von vielen anderen gefolgt.

Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Ja, ich meine, es sind ein paar Leute, die versuchen, einen Sinn für diese Katastrophe zu machen.

Und es beginnt mit Männern.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Und dann wird es von der Frauengruppe, der Ladies Memorial Association und dann der United Daughters of the Confederacy, verbreitet. Es ist eine organische Sache, die beginnt. Und es gibt einen Mann, Jubal Early, der ein Virginiener war, der als Unionist begonnen hat. Und dann hat er, wie jemand später gesagt hat, als er das Schwert für die Konföderation entschloss, es nie wieder zurückgelegt hat.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And he left the country to go to Canada after the war, saying that he would rather skin a Yankee woman and kill a Yankee child rather than get back together with the Union. And he's the one that really, really sets this in motion and makes Lee the great hero. And at the same time...
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Part of this also is to make sure you denigrate African Americans as unworthy, as people that can't have citizenship. So it's this multifaceted myth, lie, ideology, religion that grows organically until it becomes a set of precepts of like the true word.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Genau. Das erste und wichtigste ist, dass die Krieg nicht über die Slaverie gespielt wurde. Und wenn man sagt, dass die Krieg nicht über die Slaverie gespielt wurde, dann könnte man ehrenamtlich kämpfen. Wie könnte man ehrenamtlich kämpfen, wenn man gegen etwas kämpft, das als eine moralische Verbrechung der Slaverie ist?
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Es bezieht sich darauf, dass man einen Mann von einer Frau, eine Mutter von einem Kind bezieht. Es bezieht sich darauf, dass die Zauberung die schlimmste moralische Verbrechung ist, die man sich vorstellen kann. Und sie sagen jetzt, dass wir nicht nur nicht dafür kämpfen, sondern auch die Zauberung, die wir hatten, die Meister waren kind und die Zauberer waren glücklich.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
In der Tat, die Bücher, die ich als Kind hatte, meine Textbücher in Virginia in der vierten und siebten Klasse, sagten, dass Zauberung eine gute Institution war, eine Art Social Security. So that's the second one. The third one is that the Confederate Army was amazing and they fought to the very last. Well, no. By the end of the war, they were scattered, the Confederate Army.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Lee had very few people left at the end because everybody else was running away. And remember, they weren't just defeated by a little bit. They were catastrophically defeated. Lee is the biggest loser in American history. And remember that Lee killed more U.S. Army soldiers than any other enemy in our history. And I think these are the other ways.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
And part of that is, this lost cause, is that post-war reconstruction, that period from 1865 to 1877, was actually a failure because black people weren't ready for the vote. No, there were 2,000 black men that served in high office. And at the top of this myth is Robert E. Lee, the greatest general and the greatest man who ever lived. Remember, be the loser.
American History Hit
Confederacy: Myth of the Lost Cause
Ja, weil nicht nur, once you've got the basic precepts, then you have organizations like the United Daughters of the Confederacy that create textbooks. They burn books in the South to ensure that only this is created. They create the Children of the Confederacy. The Children of the Confederacy is a group that still stands today that gives scholarships for memorizing the Confederate Catechism.

Der Krieg wurde nicht über die Slaverie überwiesen. Die Slaven waren glücklich in ihren Bedingungen. Lee war so groß wie ein Mensch. Das ist heute noch da. Und du zeigst diesen katholischen Katakysm.

And I read Gone with the Wind, which is the greatest lost cause propaganda of all time. So it's so many different areas reinforcing each other, not just in the South, but across the country.
