From a review of Mark Neely's 'Southern Rights: Political Prisoners and the Myth of Confederate Constitutionalism':... he found that the Confederate record was not much different from that of the Union. Confederate authorities, Neely argues, used much the same pragmatic, flexible approach characteristic of the Lincoln administration...

So, you're agreeing that the union was a police state? Or are you saying the Confederacy wasn't? Which of your positions are you willing to sacrifice in order to make your attack? LOL.

I'm saying the so-called CSA had internal passports just like the Soviet Union.
