His post shows he has not educated himself on the CSA government. For example only two CSA states had properly equipped troops thru out the war, NC and AL. This was due to blockade runners having a great deal of success in NC and AL ports. Jeff Davis used to plead with the governors of those states to "share the wealth". Imagine Lincoln pleading with a governor about anything.
Another example was late in the war South Carolina troops were "deserting" the Army of NoVa. Well actually the were heading home after hearing of Sherman's approach. Jeff Davis said that he could do nothing about it.
Imagine that.
So these are not the seeds of a tyranical central government.
