Give it up. N-S is an apologist for that tyrant and knows full well his shortcomings. In his book, lincoln is the benevolent saviour of blacks. Nevermind that he thought them inferior, wanted to send them back to Africa and stated time and again if he could save the union by freeing none of them, he would do it.

N-S is an apologist for that tyrant...

Given that and being an apologist for a tyrant who launched a rebellion to defend the institution of slavery, and who believed that blacks were where they belonged, in slavery with title held by himself and his peers. I don't feel too bad by comparison.

I am reading Lee's Lieutenants right now. I didn't know it was 3 volumes, so when I ordered it from the library, I got volume 2. I finished it last night. Jackson is dead... (and how I love Old Jack) and any hope that South had... died with him.
