The Experiment Podcast: How a Civil War Expert Gave Up the ‘Lost Cause’ Myth
The “lost cause” myth—the idea that the Civil War was about northern aggression, not slavery—continues to circulate. Historian Ty Seidule doesn’t believe that anymore, though he only came to the realization well into his career as an Army officer and a history professor. His book Robert E. Lee and Me deconstructs the legacy of the top Confederate general and unpacks the enduring “lost cause” ideology. In this episode of The Experiment, the correspondent Tracie Hunte talked with Seidule about why unlearning the mythology surrounding Lee took him so long, and the host, Julia Longoria, considers what it might take for other white Americans to do the same.
