If he says that Richard never locked such a girdle on his wives and daughters, then there is a problem.
That is the sort of thing the neo-rebs do every day on FR, across the 'net and in all the media. They lie.
It is a lie to say the war was fought over tariffs. It is a lie to say secession was legal. It is a lie to say that President Lincoln trampled the Constitution. It is a lie to say that Union soldiers raped and murdered their way across the south. It is a lie to say there were thousands of black rebel soldiers.
It is even a lie to say that rebel arms were especially effective.
Those are all lies, and they need to be exposed as such.
