In this explosive documentary, Matt Walsh shatters the biggest and most enduring myths about the Civil War. What were they really fighting about? Why weren’t Confederate leaders put on trial? Why did Robert E. Lee become a heroic, unifying figure for decades after the war? And why are so many blue haired freaks tearing down his statues today? Through extensive research, and relying on primary source documents, Walsh confronts the cartoon version of history head on. Prepare to re-evaluate everything you thought you knew about America's defining war.
