Prison Life During the War of 1861 (1869) By Fritz Fuzzlebug (Crown Rights)
The alleged maltreatment of United States soldiers at Andersonville has often been cited as evidence of Southern barbarity.

North Against South: The American Illiad (1848-1877) (1978/1995) By Ludwell H. Johnson (Foundation for American Education)

"...the Southern version..."
-John Mering, University of Arizona

"Johnson presents all of the basic facts that the beginning student or casual reader should know. Yet it is the author's assertions and conclusions that make this book as provocative as it is stimulating.... Johnson ... concludes that the horrors of Reconstruction were but a continuation of atrocities perpetuated during the war by Union armies.... How refreshing it is now to see a new conservative approach to Civil War history."
-James I. Robertson, Jr., Virginia Polytechnic Institute

"Ludwell Johnson's work is the history that has long been waited for by Southerners (and by their sympathizers, far more numerous than is usually admitted). By marshalling objective information that has long been known but ignored, Johnson has desacralized 'the glorious war for the Union' and redeemed the honour of the Confederacy."
-Clyde N. Wilson, University of South Carolina
