No use asking him for an honest answer -- all he's got is the old lies Marshall told, and MacPherson's new ones, and Mark Neely's partisan icepick job. He's got all the Red historians you'd ever want not to read, except to find out how infamous their lies are.
Notice that the liars always quote the Preamble -- the leftovers of the Hamiltonian amalgamation document that was repudiated and used for fishwrappers by the Constitutional Convention -- because they can't quote anything else to push their bull about an arc-welded Union.
Buncombe and road apples, all of it.
Before he wrote "Southern Rights", Mark Neeley took a long, hard look at the Lincoln administration in "The Fate of Liberty: Abraham Lincoln and Civil Liberties" and won a Pulitzer for it. Your problem with Neely is that you can't stand having the Davis regime examined with the same standards you insist on for the Lincoln administration.
