In "Some Truths of History: A Vindication of the South Against the Encyclopedia Britannica and Other Maligners," Thaddeus K. Oglesby presents a passionate defense of the Confederate perspective on the American Civil War.

This book offers a unique insight into the Southern mindset in the early 20th century, providing a detailed rebuttal to criticisms of the Confederacy and its leaders. Oglesby delves into the political, social, and economic factors that he believes led to the conflict, aiming to correct perceived misrepresentations and restore honor to the Southern cause.
"Some Truths of History" is a valuable resource for understanding the ongoing debates surrounding the Civil War and its legacy, and offers a compelling, if controversial, perspective on a pivotal period in American history.
