Normans and Saxons by Ritchie Devon Watson Jr
Explores the complex racial mythology created by the upper classes of the antebellum South in the wake of divisive events to justify secession and, eventually, the Civil War. This mythology cast southerners as descendants of the Normans of eleventh-century England and thus also of the Cavaliers of the seventeenth century.-
