Negative Positive
Title: Completely Unreconstructed
Review: The jacket blurb that suggests that a peaceful secession, an idea heartily endorsed by author Dilorenzo, would have been best solution says it all. Allowing the Confederate experiment, which was based upon the proposition--as CSA Vice President Alexander H. Stephens boasted in his infamous cornerstone speech--that one man can own another and appropriate his labor, to succeed would have allowed slavery to live at least several decades longer. This profoundly acontextual study will be very popular with racists, Klansmen, and neo-Confederates everywhere.
Is the review positive or negative?
