text:
John Knox Bettersworth (1909-1991) was a history professor and author in Mississippi. James W. Loewen wrote critically of the bigotry and inaccuracy in Betterworth's high school textbooks that were standard in Mississippi schools for decades and Betterworth's work was contrasted with the textbook Loewen and Charles Sallis co-edited in 1974 in Sallis's obituary. Rebecca Miller Davis described Bettersworth's textbooks as stuck in a Lost Cause mentality.
