Leessee, you have yet to cite a single historian. Robert Loewenberg, one of Fitzhugh's few biographers, maintains that he was the ESSENCE of the pro-slavery argument. The only one who really denies it is C. Vann Woodward.

To the contrary. I already directed your attention to a fairly prominent historian you yourself brought up. Look at Richard Hofstadter's chapter on The Lincoln. He discusses Fitzhugh with that conclusion.
