A Nation Divided: How Confederate Symbols Unified a Southern Culture and Identity and Polarized the United States of America

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)
Confederate symbols are still used by many Southerners these days. The use of these symbols are researched and discussed by many scholars before. However none have used the theory of cultural memory to describe these cultural activities. In this thesis, with the help of Cultural memory theories, the use of Confederate symbols will be explained with the help of three different case studies.
