"Lost Cause of the Confederacy" is not a stab in the back myth
The statement should be removed or give supporting evidence.
The article states:
"For example, it was applied to the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War and in the mythology of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy."
The Lost Cause of the Confederacy is not a stab in the back myth. It does not say that the South could have won the Civil War. The very name admits the South could not win--it was a Lost Cause.
The myth is that the South was morally superior, or morally equal, to the North, and the southern soldiers were more skilled and heroic in their fighting. This is the unanimous view of the Wikipedia article Lost Cause of the Confederacy. Ttulinsky (talk) 20:51, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
