  In the aftermath of the Civil War, the Lost Cause gave white southerners a new collective identity anchored in the stories, symbols, and rituals of the defeated Confederacy. The civil religious perspectives of everyone else, meanwhile, have gone unnoticed. Arthur Remillard attempts to fill this void by focusing on the Wiregrass Gulf South region.
