Here we go again. Abysmal ignorance of the causes & conduct of the Civil War, the lot of Slaves in and the history of the antebellum South, the role of Blacks during the war & their "motivation" for "helping" the South (e.g. work or be shot), the true biography of N.B. Forrest, the history of Reconstruction and the "redemption" of the South, etc, etc, etc.

WAY too mush absolute bullshit to try and refute item by item- life's too short. Vide several earlier threads with bibliographies posted. Educate yourselves on these issue=s and THEN come back for an INTELLIGENT discussion.

At this late date & in the light of massive amounts scholarship in the second half of the 2oth Century I REALLY do get tired of neo-Confederate bullshit and latter-day Southern apologists after the pernicious myths of "The Lost Cause" have been repeatedly and incontrovertably proven to be blatant nonsense.
