This is a fine conclusion, and the illustrations will reinforce your argument. Looking forward to this book.

Thanks for posting this. It would have been interesting to me anyway, but it was all the more interesting because I once heard David Blight telling how moving he finds the Boston memorial by Augustus Saint-Gaudens that you mention in the first paragraph.

OT, but I see yet another book on "Black Confederates" (sic) is coming out soon. The cover features a colorized version of you know which famous photo which the Neo-confederates always misinterpret.

Hi, I'm trying to find it again. It was in an email, I thought from Arcadia, but it is eluding me. I'll keep looking. Maybe someone else here has seen it?
