That really isn’t an accurate summary of the ideology. Wiki:

> The Lost Cause of the Confederacy…claims the cause of the Confederate States…[was] not centered on slavery.

Personally I think lost cause is weird (to say the least) but they generally try to avoid, rather than defend, the slavery issue.



If you celebrate a war over slavery as heroic while falseley claiming it wasnt about slavery, that is glorifying slavery.

Same as holocaust deniers are glorifying the Nazi regimes murders by claiming it didn't happen, when they know it did.
