I just read the excellent timeline from Snake Featherston called Up With the Star about a different ACW. It was going great until a Lost Cause guy showed up and did his best to derail the thread. Luckily the Lost Cause is not the generally accepted one for the ACW.
What if it was though? How would this affect Civil War scholarship in general? Howabout race relations in the US? The role of the federal government versus the state governments? I am not a Lost Cause proponent by any means, and I can't see this as being in any way good for the US.
