Crocker seems to get his historical documents mixed up.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.
