Defending Dixie's Land, the book that challenges our understanding of the American Civil War and the South is celebrating its one-year anniversary today. The final reduced price for the paperback is now available, and the ebook version is on sale.

I bought this off of amazon and started reading it.  I haven't given up, but haven't read any in a while.  It's very poorly cited, would not pass academic muster because of it, and the author's excuse that this was something he had done during COVID downtime and would have cited better if he ever thought he was going to publish it isn't really a great excuse.  So it's hard to know by reading it if it is an accurate rendering of history that's left untold by modern liberal historians.

The citations are given in the text, as you are aware, and anything mentioned can be researched and validated.

Don't give up! Lots of good info.

So the price dropped today?  I bought it yesterday.

That's the way life works, sometimes.  Enjoy the extra profits!
