The manuscript is revealing, not only as a guide to Southern thinking in the era, when relations between the States were going into a decline; but it also shows something of racial attitudes, at least among educated Virginians, which tends to refute the anti-Southern stereotypes that Leftist have promoted for a long time.
I heartily recommend the Tucker offering to my Southern friends, who may not be familiar with it.
As for anti-Southern posters: The Conservative tradition in America has long been better supported in the South than in most of the other States. There is virtually no hope of restoring the principles of the Founding Fathers, without working with our Southern neighbors. Smearing the South helps no one but those trying to destroy our common heritage. Obama, one may be certain, just loves the anti-Southern propaganda.

What “anti-Southern posters” are you referring to?
Thank you, you seem to get it.
No one smears the “South” by telling the truth about the fools in the Slaver Ruling Class which led the region and its people to disaster via the Slaver Rebellion.
It is not unusual historically to see societies leap to their own destruction led by foolhardy and incapable political leadership. The Cornfederacy is just another example.
Leadership is critical and had Lincoln been the leader of the South and Davis the leader of the North the Union would have been split.
The only reason Lincoln was even president was because the Slavers split the Democrat Party. Laughable fools.
