LOL!

How come I knew that is what you were going to claim!

So what facts did he get wrong?

Perhaps because Neely's pro-Lincoln bias is well known. He's also one of the leading deniers of Ben Butler's colonization meeting in 1865 despite conclusive evidence that it happened.

So what facts did he get wrong?

Without having that particular book on hand, I couldn't tell you. It is however hypocritical to write two books on civil liberties in the two different regions of the civil war, bash one side for supposedly violating them, and then praise the other side for doing the same thing.

It's absolutely amazing that the only authors on the subject of the Civil War which are not "shoddy", in the muddled minds of the Neo-Confederates, are other Neo-Confederate historic spin peddlers, such as 'Tommy' & those champions of distortion, Walter & James Kennedy.

It's really a riot, I always seem to discover their 'books' on the very bottom shelve in any major bookstore. I'm so Ferklempt not knowing how those 'books' are relatively hidden from browsing customers. :)
