Neely wrote two books: one to exonerate Lincoln of charges that he violated civil rights and the Constitution in the prosecution of the war, and the other to inculpate Davis of the same accusations.

I suppose you could call that "balanced".

Mark Neely is a member in good standing of that revisionist school that labors to heap moral burdens on the South, its People, and its leaders , splicing this historical rewriting into contemporary PC political drives to erase Southern culture, values, and memories, while vilifying Southerners as Southerners, because they're Southerners.

Stands to reason you'd bring him in here sooner or later. But we know who he is.

But why don't you just save us all some time in pawing over these middlemen, and get Kweisi Mfume and Pinchy Sulzberger in here themselves, to tell us all what lowlife scumbags we are? Save a few steps.

Actually, I thought Neely was critical of Lincoln.

As for the South, he dug out the facts, deal with them.
