Okay, I'm on lunch break so this is more rushed than I'd like.

I read some of the second pdf, and a few things I immediately noticed.

The 1920's were a time when southern revisionism grew substantially. A lot of the modern groups fighting for southern rights (daughters of yhe south) got their start during this period.

The author is the sun of a president who died 10 years before the start of the war. And apparently penned this 60 years after it ended.

I see a lot of common flawed arguments presented here. Many of which are are historically disproven.

Many of these are misleading or straight up false. The cornerstone address is a great example displaying the absurdity of claiming the civil war had nothing to do with slavery.

I wish I could expand on this more, and will try to in about 5 hours. It's a subject i have done a whole lot of in depth research about. But one I've been exposed to for a long time. (There's a awful lot of southern pride in the PNW for some weird reason)
