Title: Secondary sources ahoy!
Review: "The South Was Right" is a polemic mixed in with just enough history to seem plausible to the historically illiterate. The whole book is based primarily on secondary sources, i.e., OTHER books written on why "the south was right". Where are your primary sources? The authors did not bother to do even the most basic review of contemporary sources and yet they still managed to get this published! It's astonishing. I guess money-making is the primary motivator for the Pelican Publishing Company, because it certainly isn't producing books that contribute to Southern history. What a waste of resources, resources which could have been spent printing books written by those who lived during the Civil War and its aftermath.
Is the review positive or negative?
