Glenn's response says it very well.

I applaud those who defend the South and wish you well in this issue. Your research is commendable but I fear it will fall on ears unwilling to hear, much less believe.

It is sad that we are living in a time when it is politically correct to be anti historical South [and America as well]. Historical distortions are accepted and unchallenged as fact. Hollywood and the liberal news media are much the preferred sources for today's drive by history. I hope this will pass and the history of factual research will once again be seen through the prism of reality and not presentism.
