The over-arching theme of Southern history is not Race, as is conventionally stated, but Poverty-poverty not due to the South's shortcomings but imposed on them by the system under which they live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePUNISHED WITH POVERTY\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely and much needed contribution to the understanding of both the South and the nature of the \"Federal Empire\" under which \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e Americans now live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMMENTS ON PUNISHED WITH POVERTY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"If enough Southerners would read and take to heart \u003cem\u003ePunished with Poverty\u003c\/em\u003e, it would bring about a revolution in American politics.\" - Dr. Clyde N.

This eye-opening book focuses on the economic aspects of that struggle (but not exclusively) and should be required reading in every American history course in this country. . .\" - Dr. Samuel Mitcham, author of \u003cem\u003eIt Wasn't About Slavery: Exposing the Great Lie of the Civil War\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Greatest Lynching in American History: New York 1863\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"As the Kennedy's have explained in this impressive book, the Confederate dead were not the only Southerners buried by the War. Lincoln's 'New America' foisted years of poverty on the South and her people, which is why for generations more Southerners considered Reconstruction a greater calamity than the War itself.

This book is thoroughly researched and documented and it corrects many egregious untruths promoted by the politically correct. It is a lively read with a strong bibliography and valuable addenda. It greatly enhances one's understanding of the causes of the War Between the States, and the enormous suffering in its aftermath.\" - Gene Kizer, Jr, author of \u003cem\u003eSlavery Was Not the Cause of the War Between the States, The Irrefutable Argument\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Shotwell Publishing LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50440415150354,"sku":"9780997939316","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_962041ce-72dd-44a4-af36-91c86bb2a439.jpg?v=1729660437","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/punished-with-poverty-the-suffering-south-prosperity-to-poverty-and-the-continuing-struggle-9780997939316","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
