"All involved in this project are to be congratulated for bringing together chapters that summarize salient debates over the Confederate symbols in the modern South. The essays in this book point out how historical events and symbols of the 1860s created controversies across America more that a century after the Civil War. These cogent essays also prompt questions about how Confederate symbols remain unresolved issues in American public life. "- Civil War History
