Solution
The statement "Slavery was an evil that the North forced upon the South during the 1770s" was not a component of the "Lost Cause". The "Lost Cause" is a term referring to a set of beliefs that white Southerners held about the American Civil War. It includes the belief that the Confederate cause was a just and heroic one, that slavery was a benign institution, and that secession was justified by states' rights. It does not include the belief that the North forced slavery upon the South.
