I knew C. Vann Woodward. He got it right, and upset a lot of preconceptions that are rife in the modern "history" books that you refer to.

Yes, he admitted he had not begun to read on the subject. I agree with your recommendation. I'm just saying he may have done a lot of searching before he found this book, or his library may not have had it. I repeat that FreeRepublic has the best conservative minds in the country... yourself included.
