For generations they vilified the Yankee race so the thief would have a face, a name, a mysterious country into which he had withdrawn and from which he might venture again. They banded together into a militant freemasonry of remembering, and from that citadel held out against any suggestion that what they had suffered and lost might have been in vain. They created the Lost Cause, and consecrated that proud fiction with the blood of real men. To the Lost Cause they dedicated their own blood, their own lives, and to it they offered books, monographs, songs, acres and acres of bad poetry. They fashioned out of grief and loss an imaginary world in which every Southern church had stabled Yankee horses, every nick in Mama's furniture was made by Yankee spurs, every torn painting was the victim of Yankee sabre - a world in which paint did not stick to plaster walls because of the precious salt once hidden there; in which bloodstains could not be washed away and every other house had been a hospital.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Howard Bahr" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/howard-bahr/so-the-women-would-not-forgive-their-passion-remained-intact/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/80f/howard-bahr-45175_civil-war_so-the-women-would-not-forgive-their-pas_2893168.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/80f/howard-bahr-45175_civil-war_so-the-women-would-not-forgive-their-pas_2893168.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/80f/howard-bahr-45175_civil-war_so-the-women-would-not-forgive-their-pas_2893168.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“So the women would not forgive.
