Still haven't come up with that list of distinguished Southern anti-bellum writers and artists, I see. I will keep waiting.
why do you want a "laundry list"of authors???
knowing your opinions as i do, i would spend time doing research & then you would say they were inferior to someone else that you like better.
fwiw,EVERYONE here has figured out your "game". it's called, "whatever i say, absent either facts or knowledge is PERFECT. whatever you say is flawed, regardless of facts!"
in other words,, go do your own research. better yet, head over to DU to be one of the HATERS, there. take "mr. spin" with you as you dance out the door. you will NOT be missed.
