Review title: Speeches at Georgia convention on secession Product review: Freehling is a scholar with a track record on the history of secession, having written a history of South Carolina's Nullification Controversy. His thesis then was that nullification was the start of the secessionist movement.However this book does NOT repeat that thesis, but is a re-printing of speeches given by Unionist and secessionist Georgians at a convention called to debate secession (before Lincoln's inauguration). The historical background and biographies of the speakers are provided. This may well change your viewpoint on what motivated secession. At least it will add to your knowledge of politics of the period.Valuable stuff: primary sources!

Review title: Horribly Unfactual -- Poorly Researched! Product review: I am trying to be honest in saying that this is one of the worst, most poorly presented, poorly researched books I have ever read. It is riddled with so many grave errors, one wonders if this gentleman has ever researched Catholicism at all. The misconceptions and the misunderstandings that the author has is off the charts.If one wants to find out about the real Catholic Church, they will never do so from this book, not even close. They will only receive the many misconceptions and misunderstandings that Mr. Jones himself has apparently received.I have read many anti-Catholic books... this is one of the worst. Unfortunately, it is full of errors from cover to cover.
