Warning: This is not your average U.S. history book.After the Civil War, the Confederates may have laid down their arms, but they were far from accepting defeat.

These lies still manifest today through criticism of Critical Race Theory, book banning, unequal funding for education, and more.This book sets the record straight and explains the true history of the Civil War, and its complex and far-reaching aftermath. Written by historian and award-winning author Ann Bausum, WHITE LIES is an impeccably researched chronicle filled with photos, robust back matter, additional resources, and more that fans of Howard Zinn's A Young People's History of the United States will enjoy.
