Summary

"Deep South" explores the intricate history of a region that has significantly shaped American identity, focusing on the legacy of slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights Movement. This book argues that the Deep South serves as a microcosm of America's broader struggles with race, equality, and social justice. Readers will gain insights into how the plantation economy fueled the rise of the antebellum South and how the Civil War's aftermath redefined social and political landscapes. The book presents a comprehensive foundation for understanding the region's pivotal role in American history.

 
The book progresses chronologically, first establishing the economic and social foundations of the antebellum South, then dissecting the Civil War and Reconstruction, and finally examining the Civil Rights Movement. For example, the book examines the Confederacy's motivations, strategies, and ultimate defeat. The book draws upon diverse sources, including slave narratives and statistical data, providing a nuanced perspective on the region's historical, social, and economic complexities. This approach ensures readers receive a balanced and insightful look at this pivotal region and its impact on the United States.

    Did America Have a Christian...

    A distinguished professor debunks the assertion that America's Founders were deists who desired the strict separation of church and state and instead shows that their political ideas were profoundly influenced by their Christian convictions. 
In 2010, David Mark Hall gave a lecture at the Heritage Foundation entitled "Did America Have a Christian Founding?" His balanced and thoughtful approach to this controversial question caused a sensation. C-SPAN televised his talk, and an essay based on it has been downloaded more than 300,000 times. 
In this book, Hall expands upon this essay, making the airtight case that America's Founders were not deists. He explains why and how the Founders' views are absolutely relevant today, showingthat they did not create a "godless" Constitution;that even Jefferson and Madison did not want a high wall separating church and state;that most Founders believed the government should encourage Christianity; andthat they embraced a robust understanding of religious liberty for biblical and theological reasons. 
This compelling and utterly persuasive book will convince skeptics and equip believers and conservatives to defend the idea that Christian thought was crucial to the nation's founding--and that this benefits all of us, whatever our faith (or lack of faith).

    The '91 Louisiana Governor's race was supposed to be forgettable. But when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke shocked the nation by ousting incumbent Republican Governor Buddy Roemer in the primary, the world took notice. Democrat Edwin Edwards, a former three-term governor and two-time corruption defendant, was left alone to face Duke in the general election—and he was going to lose. 
 
 
 
Then a little-known state committeewoman stepped in with evidence of Duke's nefarious past. Could her evidence be enough to sway the minds of fired-up voters, or would Louisiana welcome a far-right radical into the highest office in the state? 
 
 
 
Journalist Brian Fairbanks explores how the final showdown between Duke and Edwards in November 1991 led to a major shift in our national politics, as well as the rise of the radical right and white supremacist groups, and how history repeated itself in the 2016 presidential election. The story of these political "wizards," almost forgotten by history, remains eerily prescient and disturbingly relevant.
