Are you interested in knowing the actual history of your country, or are you content with the propagandized version the winners of wars conjure up to feed school children? When it comes to the story and tradition of the U.S. South, and especially the events surrounding the Civil War (1861-1865), you may need to brace yourself. What you think you know about it is likely untrue and not just by a little.

Isaac C. Bishop is a lifelong New-Englander who happened to become interested in Southern culture. But when he began to earnestly study its history and folklore, he was shocked by what he learned. Thus, us began an intense multi-year quest to unearth a true story which resulted in Defending Dixie's Land.

Should you choose to set aside your preconceived biases and take the red pill with the author, you will discover:

How the United States government was originally meant to function, and by what means that system was usurped in the mid-1800's.

The real reasons the cotton states initially seceded.

The entirely different factors which prompted the upper South to then also secede.

An accurate picture of what life was like for minorities in both the North and South and as inherently wrong as the institution of slavery is, it has always been on planet earth.

Why Southern slaves generally viewed their situation as preferable.

Abraham Lincoln's character traits and motives that challenge his humanitarian hero image.

Eye-opening facts about African-American support for the Confederacy.

The history and current status of slavery worldwide, insights into the true enemy of free peoples everywhere, and much more.

Defending Dixie's Land is an all-encompassing defense of the Southern cause; readers will no longer view American history the same!

What People Are Saying About Defending Dixie's Land

In my time I have written probably 200 or more book reviews. I have never used the comment you ought to get this book. I am using it now.

Clyde Wilson is a distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at the University of South Carolina. Review Defending Dixie’s Land Abbeville Institute

Isaac Bishop has in recent years become one of the ablest advocates of the Southern cause in the War Between the States. What will surprise them is Bishop's cogent argument that the South did not secede in order to defend slavery...I must confess that I prefer Lord Acton, Murray Rothbard, and Isaac Bishop to the anti-South libertarians of our own day.

David Gordon, PhD in History from UCLA Mises Institute review "Bishop Checkmates Lincoln"

To read a new book which is not only difficult to put down but compels one to urge others to read, is a rarity these days… Smith has provided a masterclass on how to research, analyze, and tell history…I cannot commend highly enough Jeb Smith and Defending Dixie's Land: What every American should know about the South and the Civil War. For those who seek to know the truth, Smith's book is an imperative read.

Dr. Marcus Papadopoulos is a British historian, analyst, author, and television personality. Book Review Abe's civil war narrative meets its Waterloo The Postil Magazine

A fantastic book

Brion McClanahan holds a Ph.D. in History from the University of South Carolina and is the President of the Abbeville Institute.

The victor writes the history, but these people have abused the privilege. We need more books like Defending Dixie's Land.

Dr. Samuel W. Mitcham, historian and professor, and the author of It Wasn't About Slavery: Exposing the Great Lie of the Civil War

Without question, this book's well written narrative and impressive body of research should not be ignored. Nor can it help but prompt the thoughtful reader to re-frame their view of the Civil War in a somewhat different perspective…much of what Americans have been taught concerning the rationale for the conflict is neither accurate, objective nor balanced. The war materialized for a variety of complex reasons and, in the process, dramatically and ultimately transformed our nation. For this reason alone, Defending Dixie's Land deserves to be read.

K. David Goss is an Associate Professor of History and Director of Museum Studies, at Gordon College, Wenham, MA specializing in American history. His many published works include Cornerstones of Salem (2000) and Treasures of a Seaport Town (1998).

Mr. Bishop's book Defending Dixie's Land does an excellent job, in a very readable manner, laying out the South's reasons for secession. Spoiler alert : it wasn't about slavery but about defending the Republic that our Founding Fathers bequeathed to future generations. A must-read for anyone who truly wants to understand what limited government means.

Rick Montes M.A. in History at Western Connecticut State University and Adjunct Professor of History. Montes is the author of the United States as a Confederation and the relevance of the Tenth Amendment.

The Truth cannot be killed. It may be buried alive, but it will not die. Like an archaeologist, Bishop has discovered the tomb of the Truth, and with this book he has rolled the stone away.

H. V. Traywick, Jr. M.A University of Richmond. Author of Empire of the Owls: Reflections on the North's War Against Southern Secession

Written by a native New Englander, this defense of the South and the War is one of the best I've encountered.

Paul C Graham M.A University of South Carolina author of Confederaphobia: An American Epidemic and Nonsense on Stilts: The Gettysburg Address and Lincoln's Imaginary Nation

It is refreshing that Isaac Bishop, a native Northerner, has produced a book with primary sources, that exposes so much of the mythology of American Civil War history. Considering the venomous attacks likely to come from the Court Historians toward this work, I highly recommend the book and applaud Bishop’s temerity to provide this worthwhile information to anyone interested in this era especially those who suspect or know they have been taught a slanted version of past history.

John M. Taylor Author: Union At All Costs: From Confederation to Consolidation- Book Review of Defending Dixie's Land

One of the most important books released in recent years.That's not hyperbole. This is the real deal.
