I marked this as nonfiction, but the whole "test" was created to fictionalize and romanticize the Confederacy and slavery. I can't help but worry that groups today have updated and adapted this for their own use in going after books on public schools. Some still believe in the "lost cause," while others want to say ridiculous things like slavery wasn't that bad. One group says that stories about racism, in order to be taught in schools, must explicitly discuss the progress we've made today or it has no business being taught to kids. This book is the template for things we see today.
