You could be wrong . . . but I doubt it.

By the way, I didn’t know that neo-Confederates had a mythology about themselves. Does that mean they are fighting neo-Yankees? And exactly what is the myth? That we all live on cyber Plantations?

I don’t get it. A neo-confederate must be someone who just does not understand why James McPherson left out any discussion of the teetering federal treasury in 1861; or does not think the Ken Burns Series opening jump from pictures of slaves to Ft. Sumter got it right; or that Doris Kearns Goodwin’s explanation of starving Union troops at Ft. Sumter as the explanation why Federal troop ships were blocking the entrance to Charleston Harbor on the evening of the 11th of April.

No, a neo-confederate is obviously uninformed and unrepentant.

The myth? Something like we might think it odd that a newly elected government official would use government men and equipment to kill citizens in order to hold together a republic of sovereign states, some of which dared to declare themselves free of domination. What a myth!
