"The Creed of the Old South 1865-1915" by Basil L. Gildersleeve is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on the cultural and ideological principles held by Southerners following the Civil War, offering a perspective that blends personal experience with broader societal themes. The text examines the motivations behind the Southern participation in the Civil War and views the conflict through the lens of a Southerner grappling with the memories of an era marked by valor and suffering. The opening of the book sets the stage with Gildersleeve's reflections on his own experiences as a soldier in the Civil War, noting the conversations of old veterans and evoking vivid memories from his youth. He shares poignant images of captured opponents, the camaraderie of soldiers, and the deep-seated sense of honor that characterized the Southern viewpoint. Through personal anecdotes, he illustrates the emotional complexity of being a Southern man during and after the war, acknowledging both the perceived nobility of their cause and the sorrow tied to the losses endured. Overall, the beginning of the text lays a foundation for exploring themes of identity, memory, and the conflicting legacies of the past.
