A Confederate Catechism: The War For Southern Self-Government is a book written by Lyon Gardiner Tyler, which explores the political and social beliefs of the Confederacy during the American Civil War. The book is presented in the form of a catechism, with questions and answers that delve into the reasons behind the Confederacy's secession from the Union, their views on slavery, states' rights, and their ultimate defeat in the war. Tyler argues that the Confederacy was fighting for the principle of self-government and their right to secede from the Union, rather than solely for the preservation of slavery. The book also examines the impact of the war on the South and the lasting effects it had on the region's identity and politics. Overall, A Confederate Catechism provides a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the Confederate cause and its legacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
