The Unacknowledged War
“The Unacknowledged War” is an inquiry into the phenomenon of Civil War revisionism, focusing on the tendency of white Americans to deny, against all available evidence, that the “war between the states” was waged over slavery.

Austin Graham (bio) Harriet Beecher Stowe's notorious 1869 exposé, "The True Story of Lady Byron's Life," has quite plausibly been described as "the most sensational magazine article of the nineteenth century,"1 but as is often the case with sensations it has tended to be talked about much more than understood. Stowe's nominal project in the "True Story" was the…
