Confederates in the Attic is Tony Horwtiz's personal exploration of the modern fascination with the Confederacy in the American South. Horwitz, who as a child in Maryland had his own fascination with the war, later rekindled his interest as an adult after meeting a group of Confederate reenactors who spent their weekends pretending to be Confederate soldiers. Horwitz plotted out a series of trips to the sites of battles and other historic events in Civil War history where he interviewed local people as well as other "pilgrims" such as himself.
