As we approach America's 250th anniversary, now is the perfect time to understand the full, complex story of this remarkable experiment in democracy.
Historian and author, Ann Bausum, joins host Brigitte Cutshall to discuss her 25-year career writing history for all ages and her latest book, "White Lies: How the South Lost the Civil War, Then Rewrote the History."
Growing up in historic Lexington, Virginia, Bausum shares how she discovered that much of what she'd been taught about the Civil War was part of a deliberate campaign called "the Lost Cause"—a set of myths designed to excuse slavery, regain political power, and promote white supremacy.
Bausum emphasizes the power of understanding our personal connections to history and the importance of keeping diverse perspectives accessible in libraries and schools.
Call to Action:Visit your local library and request Ann Bausum's "White Lies" if they don't have it—you can read just the 20 essays (40 pages) for an incredible education, or dive deeper into the companion chapters.
