A book James McPherson calls "eye-opening" and Adam Goodheart calls "engrossing," The Fall of the House of Dixie illuminates how the Civil War was not a conservative struggle fought over states' rights but a second American revolution that fundamentally transformed the economic, social, and political institutions of the South. In this revelatory new account, revered historian Bruce Levine recounts the destruction of the old South and the promising dawn of a new society largely through the words of the people who lived it. Levine shows how a war undertaken to preserve the status quo became a revolution whose impact on the country was as strong and lasting as that of our first.
