    Wish we'd people like Allen Guelzo back in the 19th century to defend Lincolnian philosophy. That period was overtaken by agents of the Lost Cause and set back the gains of the Civil War another 100 years.

    Yes, although the Lost Cause myth was still alive and well into the 1960's, and in the South is by no means dead today.

    Allen C. Guelzo along with Shelby Foote are my favorite historians and my two favorite speakers! I could listen to either one speak for days!

    Don't think Foote is an objectist tho, I'm my opinion

    It would be a good idea to repeat the question, as those asking a question do not seem to have a microphone. Therefore, their questions are not fully heard, or heard at all.

    M8 I loved your presentation but the session where you took questions was not good, half the time I couldn't hear the questionar, not good.

    I would love to see him debate Ryan Dawson, or Thomas D. Lorenzo. They would set him straight as to how much of the lionization of Lincoln is myth making scribblings in service of a winning side, and conversely what a remarkable American and Virginian Robert E. Lee was...

    You're literally defending a Democrat oligarchy. "Democracy" to Democrats has always meant a rigid, exclusionary class structure with an emphasis on safety over liberty

    The U.S. has never had a revolution, our ancestors fought for American lndependence and won. The South legally seceded and fought The War of Northern Aggression and lost. So to answer two topics, we never fought a civil war or had a revolution. PERIOD

    The Democrat oligarchs rebelled against Northern, free-market industry. And they were put down. Unfortunately the Democrat oligarchy wasn't demolished and the south continued to oppress slaves and poor whites

    That fort, Fort Sumter, it was just sitting there, aggressing South Carolina. LOL How can it properly be termed The War of Northern Aggression when the Confederates started it?
