"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."
David Blight, Author of Race and Reunion

Bud, Coors, Miller…nothing but “Dutch” Yankee beer at the Confederate Bar and Cafe. Of course it is in North Dakota, so getting a case of Abita or Dixie is probably not easy.
How did you know that, Ken? Is this a frequent stop on your book tours?
Well as you can’t say “no Negroes welcom” directly a huge CBF will have do to get the point across
Interpret, I do not need to interpret. Its a nice way of saying “whites only.”
Not South Dakota?
I believe it is McClusky, North Dakota.
When I drove across North Dakota years ago, I saw a car covered with neo-Confederate stickers – the “Heritage Not Hate” type.
Would you believe that I saw a Confederate Bumper Sticker in England? I got the chance to speak to him. Transplanted Confederate. Poor Guy.
Of course I believe it – did you think we didn’t have rednecks here? And Brits who display the CBF know exactly what they mean by it – no double-talk about “heritage” – just plain racism.

They haven’t invited me yet. No, just thirty seconds and the power of Google.
I see you’ve found the family business. Come by for a cold one sometime.
Perhaps it’s galvanized?
Maybe they came down from Canada like the St Alban’s raid!!!
