Quite late and quite unusual, and as MacPherson himself notes more of a political action by "fire-eaters" than the ordinary course of business.

What McPherson notes is that Lamar received a large profit.

No lie is too grotesque for confederate apologists.

Wlat, this gets quite old. You seem determined to abuse all Southerners and find nothing but evil everywhere.

I am no apologist as you should know. Slavery was an unmitigated evil and did no good for anybody anywhere. It does not follow however that all Confederates were depraved monsters with the worst possible motives. So long as you jump in with your superior attitude, scatter-shot abuse, and masses of supercopied undigested material, nobody is going to give your views much credence.
