You made the charge that Dr. McPherson is biased. You need to show it, not me.

I've done precisely that dozens of times on FR. Take a look at his anti-southern political action for starters...

You don't like BattleCry of Freedom so you put up this dreck.

Show that he is prejudiced --in--the--book--.

I am the only one, as I recall, who ever quotes BCF. If there is something wrong with the quotes I use, you should be able to show that -- show Dr. McPherson's bias -- in the book, or by appeal to the record re the book. But you don't do that, because you can't.

I already told you where you can find that, Walt. It's in the section on the secession crisis and Corwin amendment. You may also find bias in his incredibly sloppy consideration of regional economics.

If you want to post either of those sections on FR for consideration I suppose you are free to do so. I've already dissected them elsewhere on FR in the past if you want to look there as well. That aside, I did not find it worth my effort to give up $11.99 for a stack of fish rap and accordingly will not buy a copy.

And that in itself speaks volumes beyond what you could ever imagine. FR, you know, isn't exactly the best place in the world to flood with a barrage of cut n' paste quotes from a marxist democrat historian with known political biases in his work.
