I went to school back when FLT-bird's own Marxist interpretations were the only ones taught by the "Leftists in Academia".
I didn't believe it then and don't believe it now, because it's not what people said at the time.
This link includes 10 quotes from the time which do support FLT-bird's economic concerns expressed at the time.
But in the first place, those concerns were misplaced & overblown and second, there's no confirmed evidence they had any direct effect on the events at Fort Sumter.
Was busy with other things and didn’t realize that you (much like myself) had stumbled onto bird-brain’s alter-ego, “FLThunderbird”. Looks like he ran outta juice there in 2015. Likely from the same rectal-cranial inversion he exhibits here.
