Publisher's summary

In a straightforward manor; author David Manderbach addresses the inaccuracies of the foundation of the attacks to the Southern Heritage and America's History; the association to Slavery. A fabricated narrative of the Civil War, and the guilt of slavery, that existed since recorded time; has been laid at the feet of the Southern cause and those that celebrate their Southern heritage. The onslaught against all things southern has evolved into like condemnation of America itself, for our founding fathers, our national anthem, and historical figures of all sorts in the move to gain political advantage, create a class of victims with an endless thirst for retribution of slavery that will never be satisfied.

The myth of the occurrences of early America; which all came to a head in 1860; and a war followed; killing 800,000 Americans. This audiobook breaks it down with a summary of early American politics that led to the Civil War, and the war itself.

American history is for all Americans; no matter their forefathers past. The truth of these events must be realized for there to be understanding and true reverence for what our forefathers gave us all today.

Well researched, reasoned and objectively presented

As a lifelong student of history I’ve read many dozens of books on the Civil War and Lincoln. After hundreds of hours of research I’ve only read about five books that actually go deeper than the incongruous blanket statements about the cause of the war and Lincoln’s economic motivations. My curiosity was piqued when I read Lincoln’s speeches and saw legislation he tried to pass prior to his invasion of the south. This author examines all of this as well as the economic factors. It was interesting to see that the Gettysburg Address was basically a political ploy to prevent European nations from aiding the South, and to read about Lincoln’s plans to deport the freed slaves. Was also good to hear an author who duly criticized aspects of both the north and the south while recognizing that they were products of their times. Above all I admire how he refuses to make blanket statements.
The author read the book himself, and he wasn’t as polished as many other Audible readers, but he was sincere and his confidence increased as he got further into the reading.
This is a must listen, especially for those who care about humanity but who mainly learn about their values from Federal institutions and the parroting on social media.

Eye-opening

Manderbach has taken great pains in his research to tell the entire story of this painful part of American history. It certainly exposes the flaws of what has been promulgated in the history books and by the corrupt main stream media. If nothing else, it reiterates common wisdom in the phrase "there are two sides to every story."

Disappointing

Superficial book and no content. I lack intelligence and accuracy. Few truths are mixed with so many lies to give these lies some value
