Robert E. Lee and Me
A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause
Ty Seidule
Explore the lasting impact of the Confederate legacy with Ty Seidule's Robert E. Lee and Me. Through a unique blend of personal reflection and historical analysis, Seidule challenges the myth that the Civil War was fought for honorable reasons and highlights the true goal of the Confederacy: the subjugation and enslavement of Black Americans. As a retired brigadier general and professor of history, Seidule brings a soldier's perspective to this complex and divisive topic. With insight and compassion, he seeks to understand why the facts of the Civil War remain buried beneath layers of myth and misinformation, and why they continue to divide our country today.
