Thanks. As I say, I venture this stuff with some hesitation. Still, the Lost Cause has persisted for well more than a century and a half. I have the habit of following the Wall Street Journal's opinion pages and opinion-page online comments daily. What I see is indeed new: a level of monstrous belligerence I didn't see before. Could there be insights from Lost Cause history useful in dealing with it? Maybe not. But I'm not ready to stop wondering about it.
