Are you trying to tell us that academics are always honest and truthful, never biased or politically motivated, never make up cr*p just to suit their favorite theories?
And your evidence for this is what, exactly?
icclearly: "So, what are your academic accomplishments that makes your opinion so much more valuable or accurate than PhD DiLorenzo?"
I actually do have degrees, and one of them is in history -- so I'm a "history buff" -- but what's more important is that I've now studied at Jim Robinson's Free Republic University for well over 20 years.
That makes me as well informed as anybody in subjects that really matter.
How about you, FRiend?
icclearly: "Thanks for admitting that Lincoln was a tyrant.
That's exactly what DiLorenzo had to say."
Naw...
Any fool can throw around words like "tyrant" -- idiot Democrats call Donald Trump a "tyrant".
It's just meaningless nonsense.
If you're going around calling every consequential US President a "tyrant", it just means your own brain is full of B.S. and M.S.
icclearly: "On a related note, exactly what did Davis do that made him a tyrant?
Hell, Davis was President for only three years. "
Everything that, in your fried-brain, makes Lincoln a "tyrant", Davis did, and more.
icclearly: "There are/were monuments erected all throughout the South supporting Davis after the war celebrating him.
I'm all ears to hear what he did that made him a tyrant to the people in the South."
Even the 20% of Southerners who were white adult men did not all agree with your love for Jefferson Davis.
There were many throughout the South who remained loyal to the Union and resisted Davis's efforts to conscript or enslave them.
icclearly: "If you believe that the suburbs and the rural south have the same culture and values as their Northern neighbors, you're simply making it up.
Look at the county-by-county electoral map of the last election for a clue."
Do you mean this map, showing Trump won 84% of all US counties and the majority of counties in 90% of states -- every state except Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut & Hawaii?
But you've only learned what you wanted to believe.
You reject any evidence that conflicts with what you wish to believe. We can't even get you to admit Lincoln was a racist.
