Of course that assumes Churchill was unaware of the problem you note. He was a good enough historian that I decided he would not make that mistake.

Most Confederate supporters do not take that into account when dealing with the impact slavery had in the south.

I certainly would not regard Churchill as a supporter of slavery. Mary Chesnut’s Civil War provides a useful incite into how the institution was regarded by those not part of the political elite Churchill mentions. Overall, I think I will stick with my estimate of less than one in a hundred.
