Bullion ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This research unofficially began in 2014 after I finished watching, “Ghosts of Ole Miss,” an ESPN Films 30 for 30 documentary inspired and narrated by Wright Thompson (B.J. ‘01). This was the beginning of my fascination with southern history, thanks to Wright’s unique angle that connected college football to the Civil War’s centennial. As I turned off Netflix that night, I remember asking myself two questions: 1) Why couldn’t every subject in school be taught using sports; and 2) Why do some people choose to ignore history while others choose not to forget it? The latter question seemed to provide more answers, so I began privately studying the Civil War for about a year.
