    Main drawback of reading a lot of Civil War era political history: consuming too much out-and-proud racism in one sitting eventually gets nauseating.

        I think it might do a lot of people some good to read about real racism so they can compare it to today and realize purchasing a white dog is not racist.

        Yeah, reading source text gives the lie pretty quickly to the whole state's rights thing.

        Just like reading about Margaret Sanger gives lie to that whole Planned Parenthood thing, right?

        Am I totally wrong in this interpretation? It seems like Confederate politicians were the bigger racists and more focused on defending slavery than the military leaders.

        The soldiers in general were less political. Their opinions varied, as did their directions after the war.

        The few pages of Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" on his own perspective on the topic are enough to get an otherwise great book banned from many libraries.
