These guys would not validate any position that would even remotely shed a positive light on the South. Some of these threads go into the hundreds. From experience, you are wasting your time. Yankees need to deny their culpability and these guys are pros. Imagine all the effort put into researching a point, and the response is 'no he didn't'. By leaning on the PC 'southerners are evil' position, they feel they can somehow justify the liberal desire for total government oversight of all. Have fun, but you've been warned!

Yeah, all we need to do is drink the confederate kookaid and say "It was all Lincoln's fault" and all would be right with the world. Does that about sum it up?

Actually, a lot of these threads hit 1000+ posts, and nobody's opinion is ever changed.

Between the WBTS, animal rights, homeschooling, and drug war threads, you've pretty much captured 99% of the controversy on FR.
