I love his absurd assertion that the South would have abolished slavery peacebly on its own. What rubbish. Not only did every declaration of secession insist on the perpetuation of slavery, so did the Confederate Constitution, and so did every speech by Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stevens. They even intended to conquer Mexico and Cuba and parts of South America in order to spread the practice there!

This book is just another example of the kind of cutlural apologist dissimulation that Islamofascists use to justify their war on the West. When asked why they do what they do, they sputter and froth with vague references to the “decadence of the Imperialist West” and to poorly defined human rights “abuses”, all the while avoiding the subject of their own tradition of unparalleled barbarity.

Same with the South and it’s sympathizers when explaining their actions to the rest of the World- “Just stick to vague references of Northern abuses, downplay the slavery angle, and maybe we’ll be able to sleep at night and dupe some bystanders while we’re at it.” Good political advice.

The states rights argument is a red herring, and any thinking person knows it.

If the revolution against England had failed . . . , if the south had won the Civil War . . . , if a frog had wings, it wouldn’t fall on its butt every time it jumped up into the air.

Crocker should give it a rest.

Crocker seems to get his historical documents mixed up. He mentions the Constitution when I think that he means the Declaration of Independence. This country tried having a weak central government it was called the Articles of the Confederation, and that failed miserably. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the states have the right of secession.
He seems to use justification for slavery (Thomas Jefferson, George Washington although George left a couple to Martha until her death) he also failed to mention that at their deaths, both freed their slaves.
Crocker also suggests that one read Margret Mitchell’s, “Gone with the Wind” for an acurate portrayal of Southern Life, where women were beautiful, men were gallant and the slaves knew their place.
I would suggest instead that one read Fredrick Douglas instead.
I too, agree that McClellan was an ass, however Longstreet does not deserve the hatred that most of the South directs towards him. At the time, guns had become more acurate. He was already thinking of trench warfare before WWI. I believe that was Lee’s fault in not listening to Longstreet’s concerns.
I have at one time or another read a couple of the books in the, “Politically Incorrect” series and I have to wonder if Crocker et.al went to Bob Jones U.
