My oh my, what would the critics, the Civil War publications, publishers, and bloggers do if it weren't for the bad boys of the Confederacy and those who study them and also those who wish to honor their ancestors who fought for the Confederacy?

This is what I'm talking about -- 2004 Election by county:
Even in 2008 the county map looks like a Republican landslide:
What your maps really show is that rural conservatives have no representation and likely won’t get any soon.
what it does NOT include were the TENS of THOUSANDS of MURDERS of POWs that went UN-reported.
the estimate of the MURDERED POWs at just Point Lookout DEATH Camp is about 15,000 with MANY THOUSANDS more murders committed at Elmira, Camp Douglas & other DY hellholes.
face it, the DAMNyankees committed TENS of THOUSANDS of ATROCITIES, because they COULD.

ask him about his claim that he was "a staff-member of The New Orleans Confederate Museum"" & don't be fooled by his DECEIT that he never said that he was a "paid staff-member".
"DUH, snake" was NEVER never "a staff-member" of ANY SORT and/or at ANY time (he FINALLY admitted, after LYING for SEVERAL MONTHS, that he only VISITED the museum, with his father, when he was a SMALL CHILD!). in other words, he's KNOWING, shame-LESS, clumsy liar.

That’s what I like about you Squat2pee - you lose your azz at every exchange with everyone you attack, you have nothing of substance to offer in the first place, and yet you keep coming back, begging to get your butt kicked again.
laughing AT you, LIAR.

He also said he'd deliver the mail and no doubt he meant that, too. Regardless of how much the rest of the country had to subsidize the South's mail service.
So that's the gold standard, is it? How well will Davis measure up I wonder?
I'm don't see how you can say that since we've yet to see a single post from you containing a fact or anything of substance.
You have called me a poser and said that you had someone that could positively prove that I never served in The United States Marine Corps.
I am still waiting for you to prove that.
It a very serious charge for anyone to make, after all under the Stolen Valour Act it is a federal offence to claim to have served in our military when you didn’t. I could even go to jail for a couple of years if you can prove what you have said.
I DEMAND THAT YOU SHOW ME WHAT PROOF THAT YOU HAVE THAT I NEVER SERVED AS A UNITED STATES MARINE!
It is your claim that not only do you have proof but you also have an expert witness that will verify your claims against me.
show me what you have or shut up.
Now, now, now, if you boys are trying to hit on me then I'm afraid that you would be sadly disappointed. Assuming, of course, that you really do think I'm a girl.
Nah Noni, it just means that they recognized how threadbare their “arguments” were and are in the process of giving up...
OK, then let's look at it in it's entirety. Link. Be sure you take the time to read it. I'm not sure you've bothered to so far.
First half, first paragraph:
"For the purpose of establishing friendly relations between the Confederate States and the United States, and reposing special trust, &c., Martin J. Crawford, John Forsyth, and A. B. Roman are appointed special commissioners of the Confederate States to the United States."
Notice that there is no offer to negotiate over recognition. What Davis presents is his position and that of the confederate government and no other point of view is open for discussion. If Lincoln had said, "No, I want to discuss an end to secession and the resumption of the rule of law in the South" then what would the commissioners do? Would they negotiate along those lines? Of course not, that wasn't what they were there for. They were there for one reason and one reason only, obtain Lincoln's surrender on the question of confederate sovereignty. No other alternative was acceptable. That's an ultimatum.
Second part of the paragraph:
"I have invested them with full and all manner of power and authority for and in the name of the Confederate States to meet and confer with any person or persons duly authorized by the Government of the United States being furnished with like powers and authority, and with them to agree, treat, consult, and negotiate of and concerning all matters and subjects interesting to both nations."
Note the '...matters and subjects interesting to both nations...' Now compare that with the instructions that the confederate congress mandated when they passed the legislation authorizing the commissioners in the first place - Link. Note how their instructions were for "the settlement of all questions of disagreement between the two governments upon principles of right, justice, equity, and good faith." So if Davis was at all interested in settling questions of payment for property stolen or debts repudiated then why did he water that down? Why did 'all questions of disagreement' suddenly become 'all matters and subjects interesting to both nations?" Why did Davis deliberately ignore the instructions of the confederate congress and insert his own instructions to the commissioners? The answer is that Davis had no interest in settling questions of disagreement, no intention of paying for property stolen, no desire to pay the South's share of the debt, and no interest in a peaceful solution.
It's always easy to tell when the Southron brigade's desperation level is peaking. They resort to cheap attempts at insult.
