The Confederate and Neo-Confederate Reader by James W. Loewen

Lies Across America: What Our Historic Sites Get Wrong came out in 1999. He now lives in Washington, D.C., continuing his research on how Americans remember their past. Previously he taught at predominantly black Tougaloo College in Mississippi. Jim Loewen taught race relations for twenty years at the University of Vermont. James Loewen’s gripping retelling of American history as it should, and could, be taught, Lies My Teacher Told Me, has sold more than 1,500,000 copies and continues to inspire K-16 teachers to get students to challenge, rather than memorize, their textbooks.
