In an interview about the restored, high-definition version of Ken Burns' The Civil War series that was released in 2015, Burns argued that the Civil War was about "slavery, slavery, slavery" ( • Ken Burns: The Civil War was about 'slaver... ). With that remastered footage, I created this remix, which is a highlight reel of Foote venerating southern generals. With a drive to remove Confederate monuments well underway 30 years later, the remix showcases the problematic nature of Foote’s comments. They overlook the Confederate cause as an expression of white supremacy, while proffering ahistorical sentiments steeped in “Lost Cause” mythology.
