Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause by Ty Seidule

4.0

I identify as a southerner; a student of history; a museum professional; even an alum of a fraternity that started at W&L and considers Lee to be a “spiritual founder.” Seidule’s own personal experiences deeply resonated with me and demonstrate that the myth of the Lost Cause carried well beyond the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. “Robert E. Lee & Me” is an unfortunate reminder that public spaces often serve as grounds to honor and commemorate our country’s racist past, and that the ghosts of the Confederacy continue to haunt much of our nation today.
