Roll, so any book written before 1950 is wrong, but the modern books full of Northern propaganda/slant are correct?

Not every book. There are quite a few books out there from the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s that are very informative - particularly histories written by foreign military observers. But the truth is, it wasn't until Bruce Catton in the 1950s that historians began to challenge the Lost Cause mythology that had been developing since the immediate aftermath of the conflict.

The War Between the States was a complicated time that can not be condensed into a simple North good South bad package.
