I have never denigrated the South, in the book or on Free Republic. Actually, it is an insult to southern heritage for neo-Confederates to claim that during the Civil War everyone South of the Mason-Dixon line was a traitor. In fact, 200,000 southern blacks and 100,000 southern whites fought for the United States of America while millions of northern Democrats collaborated with their rebel brethren of the Confederacy.

Support your claim that Iraqis are like Confederates posted here

Nor have I since I was born and raised there and my entire family still lives there. However, "denigrating the South" to the D.S.s just means posting truths about the Slavers' treason. "Denigrating the South" just means puncturing the fantasies of the "Noble Cause" and its supporters, all of which are based on lies from start to finish. "Denigrating the South" means pointing out that the Confederacy was a tyranny thru and thru and that it never believed those truths expressed in the Declaration of Independence such as all men are created equal. Since you believe that you are a "race-baiter" and "PC." What a joke.

In fact, 200,000 southern blacks

FALSE. There were not even 200,000 black troops in the ENTIRE yankee military, much less from the south. There were about 180,000 black troops in the union ranks. Roughly 50% of them came from the confederacy.

and 100,000 southern whites fought for the United States of America

FALSE. Excluding the border states like Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland that provided large ammounts of troops to both sides, the number of union troops from the south was virtually negligable. Few CSA states had more than a couple thousand and some had barely a dozen.

Wow. Maybe 300,000 Southerners sided with the yankees, while MILLIONS of Northerners sided with the Confederacy. That ought to tell you something.
