Alexander H. Stephens's defense of the new Confederacy, delivered on March 21, 1861, the Cornerstone Speech was an uninhibited overture to a new nation founded on white supremacy and slavery, and an instant sensation. While the speech is widely cited, no full-length treatment of the work and its legacy exists - and it is poorly understood. HeÌbert examines how Stephens initially considered it, then how, with the help of others, he reinterpreted it to shore up major tenets of Lost Cause ideology after the Confederacy was defeated on the battlefield. The book also shows how this reactionary interpretation would inform Neo-Confederate ideas that abide to the present day in American culture"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Stephens, Alexander H. $q (Alexander Hamilton), $d 1812-1883 $x Influence. 650 0 $a White supremacy movements $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Southern States $x Sources. $x Sources. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Southern States $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Racism $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Anniversaries, etc. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Anniversaries, etc. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Sources. $x Sources. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a HeÌbert, Keith S., $t Cornerstone of the Confederacy $b First edition. $d Knoxville : The University of Tennessee Press, 2021. $z 9781621906520 $w (DLC) 2020048867 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043233.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014928.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1CF0923CC43111EB854196005EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
