Title: Don't be fooled
Product review: This book is propoganda, not serious history. John C. Perry is a leading member of the Texas branch of Sons of Confederate Veterans -- a fact that is conspicuously omitted from his biography in the book. True to the goals of the SCV, Perry is determined to defend Southern heritage. With virtually no attribution, he stresses that slaveowners were a paternal lot, that slaves had better living conditions that most whites, and that large mulatto populations in 1860 do not indicate owners and overseers "had their way with slaves." I bought this book by mistake, thinking it was serious history. Hope you can avoid the same error.
