Franson

How dare you say that Brinkley is proof of your statement because as we all know his "factual book" left out and screwed up large amounts of very important information. And that isn't even debatable. Yes you are correct that the Confederacy's gov't modeled that of the Unions merely because the Confederacy didn't have enough time to create completely new goverment when they were worrying about the Union troops slaughtering the innocent farmers of the land and destroying their precious railroad. But Franson if you look at southern politics up to the Revolutionary War (i say revolution because this war was about revolting against a larger oppressor than England and it wasn't a civil war at all) the South always demonstrated a platform featuring a government that was less involved in the economy and general affairs of the country. And you point how the rich plantation owners ( a very small percent of the south) ran most of the country- um no really, I didn't know that people with money run a country? (sarcasm). And lastly as I started off saying Brinkley wasn't creditable well just to let you know just because it is on the internet doesn't mean it is factual to the least of the extent of the meaning of factual.
