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. :)

Maybe this is why.

After the war, Davis and other purveyors of the Lost Cause left out this unpleasant part of Confederate history, instead vilifying Lincoln as dictator and championing the Southern nation as the true defender of civil liberty.
