Walt, have you lost it? You're posting opinions from some guy who has not read the book!

He does quote the book, does he not?

Here's the bottom line. Yours is a cut and paste from an unreliable source who chose to review on the book prior to reading it; "judge a book by it's cover."

ACW Poster:

• Has self-admittedly not read Adam's "When in the Course of Human Events"
• Has self-admittedly not read Foner's "The New York Merchants and the Irrepressible Conflict"
• Disregards Adam's book b/c of a related reference in another piece by Foner.

IMO, that's not very credible. I would have to see more to discredit Adams' work. Ironically, Adams has laid out all his references (p. 63) so folks like the ACW poster can review the correct sources. It's all there.

Lastly, Adams' book is not a neo-reb work as you stated. Adams is not a Southerner by birth. But I do acknowledge that anything that does not fit neatly into your skewed vision of the war is a "neo-reb" chant.
