It coud have been more simply titled" The Intellectual Bankruptcy of Claremont". Matsugi is a whining little snot who doesn't have any ancestors who were here during the time frame. What he has to say about anything shouldn't interest anyone but a democrat or neocon.

Dixie bump. Here's my latest - a factual dissection of the Claremont smear of DiLorenzo in this week's National Review

And here's a factual error right at the top:

Lincoln went to war to prevent the formation of a government by a clear majority of the southern people...

Sam Houston, as you know -- as you responded to my post where I quoted him:

"I believe a large majority of our Southern people are opposed to secession, and if the secession leaders would permit our people to take ample time to consider secession and then hold fair elections the secession movement would be defeated by an overwhelming majority." -- Sam Houston, 1861

President Lincoln is on the record also:

"It may well be questioned whether there is, to-day, a majority of the legally qualified voters of any State, except South Carolina, in favor of disunion. There is much reason to believe that the Union men are the majority in many, if not in every other one, of the so-called seceded States."

7/4/61

So how now your statement that a "clear majority" of southerner supported the formation of a new government?
