Hee!
I took a Civil War Lit. class (was pretty much a history class with lit. thrown in) and we read Tony Horwitz's Confederates In The Attic which is a fabulous read even if you aren't into the Civil War. His observations on Southern attitudes about that war, even in the 21st C., are pretty illuminating/surprising.
