Pretty much how i see it...Fred isn’t running the south down...he has written many articles about his childhood including the good and the bad...my folks lived through the old days...some of it was good but a lot of it was bad and i wouldn’t want any of the bad to return....and BTW...Fred is telling the truth about being born into gentry...it was like that and is still that way in som places.
