Oh wait….
From the Library of Congress:
“According to the Library of Congress Civil War Desk Reference, 2002, page 860, approximately 70,000 books have been published on the Civil War over the years up to that date. The Library of Congress, though not owning every one of these books, most likely owns copies of a great majority of them. The shelf space taken up by the Civil War books just in the E call number classification in the closed book stacks is considerable. This does not include those books which cover Civil War related information and may be cataloged primarily under other subjects. One should also consider that the Library owns many thousands of photographs and illustrations, maps, and manuscript materials on the Civil War.
I hope this information proves to be of help to you. Thank you.

It’s interesting that the same people who keep telling blacks to get over that whole slavery thing, already, seem to be the same people who want to keep all those statues of slave-owners on every street corner in the South because they’re still not over the Civil War.

Maybe these NeoConfederates are as illiterate as Medieval Peasants who learned their Christian history from statuary and stained glass.

Reminds me of Jim Wright’s snark about the possibility of Alabama electing a Republican write-in candidate in their Senate race: “First they’d have to find a candidate named X.”
SNRK.
