“All that was, or is now, desired is that error and injustice be excluded from the text-books of the schools and from the literature brought into our homes; that the truth be told, without exaggeration and without omission; truth for its own sake and for the sake of honest history, and that the generations to come after us be not left to bear the burden of shame and dishonor unrighteously laid upon the name of their noble sires.” — James Power Smith, Introduction to Hunter McGuire and George L. Christian, The Confederate Cause and Conduct in the War Between the States (1907)
