This polemical account argues that the Confederate states had a respectable constitutional case for secession, and that much of what is commonly said about the South and the war era rests on caricature and error. Its author takes aim at received wisdom about the region and its people, presenting the Confederacy's legal reasoning as something modern readers have been trained to dismiss without examination. The book is written to challenge mainstream interpretations of the conflict and to offer a counter-reading of the period.
