Abraham Lincoln Was a Liberal, Jefferson Davis Was a Conservative: The Missing Key to Understanding the American Civil War - Paperback

$25.90

by Lochlainn Seabrook (Author)The mainstream version of the American Civil War has always been nonsensical and irrational. Why? Because it was written by Liberals with an extreme anti-South bias and little or no knowledge of the history of America's two party system. For example, if the Confederacy's Democratic leaders were truly "Liberals," as we've been taught, why did they maintain that they were fighting for the Constitution, a document that Liberals have traditionally treated with scorn ...

Before Busing: A History of Boston's Long Black Freedom Struggle - Paperback

$52.65

Report copyright infringementby Zebulon Vance Miletsky (Author)In many histories of Boston, African Americans have remained almost invisible.
