The Lost Cause ideology posits that the Confederacy lost the Civil War not due to moral failings or the righteousness of the Union cause, but rather due to overwhelming Northern resources, superior numbers, and strategic disadvantages. It romanticizes the Southern cause as noble and emphasizes the valor of Confederate soldiers while downplaying the significance of slavery as a central issue. This narrative aims to preserve Southern pride and justify the post-war social order, portraying the Confederacy's struggle as heroic and its leaders as virtuous. Ultimately, it seeks to reshape public memory and foster a sense of regional identity in the South.
