Top Ten Articles

Many of the topics covered in the round table are highlighted in the opinion pieces that follow. The “top ten” selection herein is by no means scientific nor definitive. One of the best if not the best resource for readers to comprehend the full scope of issues with regard to Confederate statues remains the Southern Poverty Law Center report “Whose Heritage: Public Symbols of the Confederacy” (https://www.splcenter.org/20180604/whose-heritage-public-symbols-confederacy). Its riveting set of interactive data remains best viewed online and tops the book-ending bibliography, which is organized by category (websites, books, and articles) and by state. Because public opinion over Confederate memorials remains divided and continues to make headlines, the bibliography includes websites for Confederate heritage to allow for comparative perspective on the topic. The series website for History in the Headlines (www.ugapress.org/index.php/series/HIH) provides further materials to support this title and guides people to yet other resources.
