Nuetral Point of View Are you kidding   Alexander Stephens didnt speak for the Confederacy at large  None of the causes of the war listed explains why the common southern man risked it all for the confederacy  White Supremacy was far from being a Southern trait It was worldwide at the time These historians are illinformed at best biased at worst  There is little in the historical record with which one can glorify LincolnI dont know why people still insist on doing it  Demonizing the South is not only unjust its intellectually dishonest The North was no betterand in many areas of race relations quite worseand still are  Where are historians such as Charles Beard Where are the foreign accounts of the causes which are the only ones that can be considered objective
