"Everything You Were Taught About the Civil War is Wrong, Ask a
Southerner " is the book that every Civil War house, museum, gift
shop, and Website has been waiting for, and that every Civil War
buff and student of history has been asking for Popular Southern
historian and award-winning Tennessee author Lochlainn Seabrook
sets the record straight in this easy-to-read, well documented
handbook that confronts the North's many falsehoods about the
American Civil War. Broken into convenient chapters, such as "Cause
of the War," "Secession," "Slavery," "The Abolition Movement,"
"Jefferson Davis," "Abraham Lincoln," "The Emancipation
Proclamation," "The Union and Blacks," "Yankee War Crimes,"
"Prisons," and "The Confederate Flag" (among many others), this
expose of Yankee anti-South propaganda has the power to heal. For
in reeducating the world about Lincoln's War it will give
Northerners a better understanding of the conflict itself, while
making Southerners, of all races and political persuasions, proud
to be Southern. Read the sensational racially-inclusive book that
everyone's talking about - the book that blows the lid off Yankee
mythology - and learn the Truth for yourself Contains over 1,000
endnotes and a 700-book bibliography, and is endorsed by the League
of the South and numerous other pro-South organizations and
individuals. Lochlainn Seabrook is the winner of the prestigious
Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal. Foreword is by
African-American educator and Sons of Confederate Veterans member
Nelson W. Winbush, the grandson of Louis Napoleon Nelson, just one
of the hundreds of thousands of black Confederate soldiers who
fought for the South. Blurbs by Thomas Moore (Chairman, the
Southern National Congress), Ronny Mangrum (President of The Green
Cannon Tennessee Flag Conservation Foundation; Adjutant for
Roderick, Forrest's War Horse Camp 2072, Sons of Confederate
Veterans; Former Heritage Violations Chairman for Tennessee
Division, SCV), Timothy D. Manning (Executive Director, "The
Southern Partisan Reader"), J. T. Thompson (Executive Director,

award-winning historian and author of "Last Chance for Victory:
Robert E. Lee and the Gettysburg Campaign"), and Barbara Marthal

member of the Tennessee Society Order of the Confederate Rose)."
General Nathan Bedford Forrest was a brave and ingenious
Confederate officer who won all but one of the battles he led; a
philanthropist who gave generously to family, friends, and
charities; and a humanitarian who not only spared the lives of
numerous Yankees on the battlefield, but who freed his slaves years
before Lincoln issued his fake and illegal Emancipation
Proclamation. And unlike liberal Lincoln, who purposefully delayed
abolition, hindered black social and political advancement, and
campaigned throughout his life to have all blacks deported out of
the U.S., after the War conservative Forrest crusaded to bring new
African immigrants into the South - with full civil rights. No one
would know any of this by reading the typical works on Forrest,
however, nearly all which are written and published by anti-South
proponents. In fact, according to most Northern and New South
authors Forrest was a violent redneck, an unregenerate racist, a
barbaric slave trader, a philandering husband, an illiterate
hillbilly, the founder and grand wizard of the KKK, and the butcher
of Fort Pillow. None of this is true, but it continues to be
presented in our history books as fact. In A Rebel Born: A Defense
of Nathan Bedford Forrest - Confederate General, American Legend,
unreconstructed Southern historian, award-winning Tennessee author,
and Forrest scholar Lochlainn Seabrook reveals the truth about one
of history s most fascinating, charismatic, complex, romantic, and
unique individuals. In this refreshingly positive appraisal of
Forrest - widely considered to be Seabrook s masterpiece - the
author corrects the many falsehoods about him, and, using well
researched documentation, shows that the modern negative image of
the General derives almost solely from slanderous myths created 150
years ago by Lincoln s anti-South propaganda machine. At 822 pages
this is the longest book ever written on Forrest. This newly
revised Civil War Sesquicentennial Edition includes his life story,
over 2,000 footnotes, hundreds of photos and illustrations (many
never before seen by the public), a list of Forrest s military
engagements, a Forrest life calendar, Forrest and Montgomery family
trees, Forrest s astrological profile, an 800-book bibliography, a
detailed index, and more. Read the book that everyone is raving
about and learn the facts about Forrest, facts that have been
wantonly suppressed by enemies of the South. The Foreword is by Dr.
Clyde N. Wilson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History,
University of South Carolina. In 2011 Lochlainn Seabrook was
awarded the UDC s prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal
for A Rebel Born. Known as the American Robert Graves after his
celebrated English cousin, Seabrook is the sixth great-grandson of
the Earl of Oxford and the author of over thirty popular adult and
children s books, twelve of them on the War for Southern
Independence. His titles include: Everything You Were Taught About
the Civil War is Wrong, Ask A Southerner ; Lincolnology: The Real
Abraham Lincoln Revealed in His Own Words; The Quotable Robert E.
Lee; The Old Rebel: Robert E. Lee As He Was Seen By His
Contemporaries; Abraham Lincoln: The Southern View; The McGavocks
of Carnton Plantation: A Southern History; The Unquotable Abraham
Lincoln: The President s Quotes They Don t Want You to Know ;
Nathan Bedford Forrest: Southern Hero, American Patriot; The
Quotable Jefferson Davis; Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories: True
Tales of the Unexplained From Tennessee s Most Haunted Civil War
House ; and The Caudills: An Etymological, Ethnological, and
Genealogical Study.
With its 100-year history of infant mortality, violence, murder,
war, surgical amputations, political intrigue, thousands of ghastly
deaths, and a long streak of truly bad luck, it's little wonder
that Carnton Plantation is haunted, or that thousands travel each
year to visit its hallowed grounds in the hopes of spotting a ghost
themselves. What is perhaps more amazing is that no one has thought
to chronicle the accounts of Carnton's many ghost stories, and put
them in a book for readers of all ages. Lochlainn Seabrook, a
former Carnton tour guide and the author of dozens of popular Civil
War books, has rectified this situation by providing us with the
first nonfiction book ever written about the goblins of Tennessee's
most haunted Civil War house. Carnton Plantation Ghost Stories is
loaded with both fun and serious facts touching on numerous topics,
from the Civil War, plantation life, and Victorian culture, to
19th-Century medicine, genealogy, and slavery. And all is written
from the South's point of view, a refreshing perspective that
enriches an already fascinating subject: a Southern plantation full
of Civil War ghosts Included is a complete list of the dead Rebel
soldiers buried at the McGavock Confederate Cemetery, over 100
photos and illustrations of paranormal energies, Carnton Mansion,
and the grounds, maps of the property, a wonderful and useful
"Ghostly Glossary," a history of both Carnton and the Battle of
Franklin II, and discussions on Lincoln's War. Additionally,
Seabrook, who is related to the founders and owners of Carnton, has
thoughtfully included a family tree for the plantation clan.
Entertaining yet educational, diverting yet gripping, this is a
book that everyone from ghost-hunters to Civil War buffs will want
on their shelf. The foreword is by Austin Cook, team leader of SyFy
Channel s hit TV series Killer Contact. Seabrook, a former Carnton
tour guide and a relative of the McGavock and Winder families, is a
recipient of the prestigious Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal.
Known as the American Robert Graves after his celebrated English
cousin, Seabrook is the sixth great-grandson of the Earl of Oxford,
and the author of over thirty popular adult, teen, and children s
