Overview

If you're new to authentic Southern history, or you're just fed up with the mountain of lies, slander, disinformation, and pro-North propaganda found in our South-bashing history books, Everything You Were Taught About American Slavery is Wrong, Ask a Southerner! will be a joyful revelation. This important 1,000 page work by award-winning author, Southern historian, and slavery scholar Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook decimates the fictitious, deceitful, purposefully misleading view of slavery annually churned out by Yankee mythologists, writers, filmmakers, and bloggers. Lavishly illustrated with over 500 rare and intriguing images, a helpful world slavery time line, and a detailed index of significant historical figures, Col. Seabrook lays out the truth about the ""peculiar institution,"" a truth that has been nefariously suppressed for centuries by enemies of the South and more recently by the PC police. Did you know, for instance, that Africa was enslaving her own people thousands of years before the transatlantic slave trade; that white American slavery laid the foundation for black American slavery; that Africa enslaved 1.5 million whites in the 1700s; that genuine slavery was never practiced in the American South; that both the American slave trade and American slavery got their start in the North; and that the American abolition movement began in the South? Did you know that there were thousands of African-American and Native-American slave owners in early America, and that less than 5 percent of white Southerners owned slaves; that the Emancipation Proclamation did not free a single slave-and was not meant to; that until the last day of his life Abraham Lincoln campaigned to have all blacks deported ""back to their native land,"" as he phrased it; that Jefferson Davis abolished the foreign slave trade before Lincoln did and adopted a black boy during the Civil War; that five times more blacks fought for the Confederacy than for the Union; and that there are nearly 10 million slaves in modern Africa today, nearly three times as many as were in the American South in 1860? These and thousands of other little known facts will astound, fascinate, and enlighten. In support of his in-depth research the author provides hundreds of eyewitness accounts - dating from the 1600s to the early 20th Century - firsthand testimony clearly illustrating how American slavery came to be, how it was actually practiced, and how both European-Americans and African-Americans viewed it and experienced it. With 21 chapters, nearly 3,500 endnotes, and a comprehensive 2,000 book bibliography, this well investigated yet easy-to-read work - the result of over 20 years of research - is a must-read for every serious student of American history, Southern history, and American slavery. A devastating refutation of the conventional view of American slavery, its publication will require every history book to be rewritten. You will never look at slavery the same way again. The foreword is by African American educator Barbara G. Marthal, B.A., M.Ed. Available in paperback and hardcover. Neo-Victorian historian Lochlainn Seabrook, whose literary works range from astronomy to zoology, is one of the most prolific and popular writers in the world today. A descendant of the families of Alexander H. Stephens, John S. Mosby, Edmund W. Rucker, and William Giles Harding, he is known by literary critics as the ""new Shelby Foote"" and the ""American Robert Graves,"" and by his fans as the ""Voice of the Traditional South."" The Sons of Confederate Veterans member is a Kentucky Colonel, a recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal, and the author and editor of nearly 100 scholarly books (currently). Col. Seabrook is the author of the international blockbuster Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!

"""A complete exposure of the fantasy Northern 'history twist' used to perpetuate the Civil War and to occupy the Southern States, in order to capture their cotton fortunes and redistribute the wealth among the Northern industrialists who initiated it!"" - THE CALVERT HISTORICAL FOUNDATION ""This is an excellent book! Full of illustrations and text documents, and very well researched. The full text documents from people who lived during this period is the most telling part of Colonel Seabrook's history books. A must-have addition to any history hobbyist's library. Well worth it's many pages."" - AMY VACHON ""It has about 1,020 pages and weighs about 5 lbs! It contains the truth about slavery, and every American should have a copy. This book will not be found in our Common Core history classes, the reason being it contains all of the truth left out of the books they're using now."" - JAMES GREENE ""Colonel Lochlain Seabrook's massive volume 'Everything You Were Taught About Slavery is Wrong, Ask a Southerner!' (around 1,000 pages) might seem intimidating and off-putting, given its size and topic, but it's neither an ungainly read, nor is it revisionist history. What it is, is a book that intends to set revisionist history aright. The winners write history and such is as true for the Civil War and U.S. slavery as anything else. The facts are that the images of a heroic Lincoln freeing ravaged slaves isn't quite the truth. The history you'll glean from Seabrook's eminently readable history volume, shows a much different American slavery - and it's all thoroughly researched from a plethora of historical documents whose veracity is much harder to deny than the badly written history books and their voluminous caches of bad information. American slaves were slaves in Africa first. They were, on the whole, treated much better here than in Africa. The images of ruthlessly mistreated slaves belongs to the ancient world much more than in American history. Slaves in America (none of this justifies slavery, mind you) were far better treated than that. Slave owners tried not to separate families and slaves were allowed to have property and even make money. Slavery was not the crux of the war, though it was the crux of some very successful propaganda on the part of the North, the Emancipation Proclamation being one of those pieces of propaganda. (Did you know that it actually freed not a single slave?) Lincoln was not a moral abolitionist; rather, it was a political move. He, in his own words, proves himself a man who believed blacks were inferior to whites, and what he really wanted to do was send the slaves back to Africa. Where was his great concern when slaves were freed and there was no plan in place to help them adjust to their new standing. With Lincoln, it was pretty much sink or swim for the newly liberated black population. The South was not a buggabear, a big ol' bad guy that noble Lincoln was trying to conquer in the name of good. It wasn't really a Civil War given that it was two sovereign nations at war with each other. Lincoln never did get the hang of the whole state sovereignty thing. Bear in mind, these are only the facts I'm pulling off the top of my memory. Seabrook is as good a writer as he is a historian. His facts are many but the book is friendly and quite perusable in its presentation. It's too easy to write off this kind of work as the product of racists or revisionists, but Seabrook - nor myself, for that matter - is neither. He has all the documentation he needs and he makes a lucid, inarguable case for the real facts - rather than the ones you were force-fed in school. This book ought to be important to anybody interested in American history - and preserving its accuracy."" - KRISTOFER UPJOHN, Book Devil Review"
