I have not clue why you think I am under an “illusion.” You obviously, and I mean OBVIOUSLY, have not read a thing I’ve ever written and frankly owe me an apology. If you read one paragraph of “Patriot’s History of the United States,” you will see ZERO defense of Confederate democracts, then or now.
Well I apologize for stating what your belief may be or not be based upon your post to me. I should have just stated that there are many who hold that illusion, in my opinion.
I found three sources on the topic with a 5 min search in scholarly databases.
