I haven't seen any statistics that contradict Dr. McPherson's.
Nor have I seen you address what the other noted ACW historian said that I posted:
Secession itself had involved a flight from reality rather than an approach to it....

Interesting, cause I haven't seen any case offered by you or anyone else as to what you intend to demonstrate by those statistics in the first place.
Are you trying to argue that the north had more railroads? I don't dispute it. More steel production? I Don't dispute it either. A larger population? Don't dispute it.
So again I ask, exactly what is your point?
For the record I'll also note that I have not seen one thing from you that contradicts any part of my article exposing McPherson's lies about history. Should I expect it anytime soon, or by your silence am I to assume that you concede his errors?
Secession itself had involved a flight from reality rather than an approach to it....
I suppose that's your historian's opinion and he's definately entitled to it, but all the same I'm entitled to my own as are you, and IMHO secession was a flight from Lincoln's big government, with the flight from reality having been taken by persons such as yourself who consciously tune out the parts of the historical record that contradict your preset view.
