1866 Confederate 1^ed Lost Cause Pollard Civil War White Supremacy SLAVERY CSA

A rare first edition of a work written from the Confederate perspective of American author Edward Alfred Pollard soon after the US Civil War. His most famous work, ‘The Lost Cause’ garnered significant notoriety due to its polarizing contents; specifically, his views regarding white supremacy as the “true hope of the South.” Within, Pollard insists upon the relegation of blacks to a second-class status and even supported the notion that slavery was the key to a Confederate way of life and nobility. This infamous work was also the subject of much controversy due to Pollard’s open criticism of both Union and Confederate political and military leaders.

This 1866 subscription-only first edition is illustrated with portrait engravings of CSA leaders including Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and Stonewall Jackson.
