Perhaps, but one good argument is readily accessible to both. It was advanced by Hinton Helper in 1857 in his analysis of the southern economy based on slavery and the results of decades of census data. Notably, it took the south an additional 100 years to wake up to the message after the Civil War.

Is that a challenge or a flip remark? If it's a challenge I'll take you up on it, on the condition you thoughtfully consider what I read. If it's just a flip remark, I'll go away.
