Someone need to tell that clown Carmichael to go to Hell.
Re-enactors probably have better scholarly knowledge of the Civil War and do a better job passing on the conditions and nature of the men who fought than any academic.

After researching the real Lincoln, I think all of these academics are frauds. I call it the Lincoln fairly tale. Reconstructed BS....

On the other hand total war lead to a position of relative advantage for the US after WWII.
US did have some significant debts, and a deformed tax system that continued to hinder growth until the 1980s.

certainly the legal provisions for those who built the pyramids were different from those of the antebellum south.

Perhaps you mean ‘elitist’ rather than ‘enlist’?

It would be interesting for you to elaborate your views re: Darryl Green.

That sounds a little suspect: "He is an admitted Marxist historian ... Of course, he states that he personally isn't a Marxist ..."
Assuming the poster's telling the truth about knowing Carmichael (always iffy on the Internet) it sounds like some wires got crossed somewhere or someone has an ax to grind.
Carmichael may be a typical professor -- leans to the left, arrogant, snobbish, not as smart as he thinks he is -- but Marxist is probably going too far. It doesn't come out in the Amazon or H-Net reviews of his two books.
