“On Tuesday, voters in California will decide whether to recall Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. Recent polling indicates a majority will vote “no” on the recall, though the margins are too close for the governor’s comfort.

Debunking the myth of the Lost Cause: A lie embedded in American history – Karen L. Cox

In the 1860’s, 11 southern states withdrew from the United States and formed the Confederacy. They seceded in response to the growing movement for the nationwide abolition of slavery.

Cox examines the cultural myth of the Lost Cause.
