White Lies: How the South Lost the Civil War, Then Rewrote the History with Ann Bausum

Award-winning historian Ann Bausum, author of White Lies: How the South Lost the Civil War, Then Rewrote the History. This isn’t your average history deep-dive—Ann pulls back the curtain on twenty enduring myths of the so-called “Lost Cause” narrative, showing how these stories about the American Civil War still ripple through education, culture, and policy today.

Ann Bausum writes about history for readers of all ages. Her books for young people help upper-elementary, middle-school, and high-school students discover the drama and significance of stories from history that are often overlooked in textbooks. Her goal is to make history relevant, engaging, alive, and irresistible. In 2015, her adopted home state of Wisconsin named her the Notable Wisconsin Children’s Author of the Year, and in 2017, the body of her work received national recognition with the Nonfiction Award of the Children’s Book Guild of Washington, D.C.
