As the Lost Cause developed, it portrayed the Civil War as: a necessary moral struggle to end slavery
a noble cause entirely unrelated to slavery
having no impact on northern states in any way
shameful and not worthy of being remembered

a noble cause entirely unrelated to slavery

they remained in rural areas and worked at jobs such as lumbering or farming.

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.
