Summary: Okay, mixed reviews
Comment: It's understandable that there would be mixed reviews over a book like this. But that's what books are supposed to do: make us think and cause us to question ourselves. And that's exactly what gets accomplished in Kennedy's THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT. No, I don't agree with everything in this book, but I do see some excellent arguements made and along the way, some excellent writing. I'm reminded of McCrae's BARK OF THE DOGWOOD with it's themes of north/south, race, traditions, and the delima Southerns face, whether still in the south or as a transplant up north. This book is worth a shot.

Summary: The South was Right
Comment: I found the book to be thought provoking. Yes, it flies in the face of what we have all been taught in high school history classes, and blasphemes an American President who is held in heroic esteme, but it gives good information. I believe the Kennedys have given voice to a whole nation of people who have been maligned and treated as ignorant because they had a different belief system than the current, overly PC society in which we now live. Reading this book influenced me to read further and find what truths and half truths really exist on both sides of Civil War History.
Southern society was ignorant and closed minded? Really? Anymore than those who say this book is perpetrating a great lie in saying Licoln was not the saintly icon he as become with the proliferation of Northern views of history?
I believe any book that causes debate and introspection is a worthwhile read--and this book definately causes the reader to question the one sided history we have been spoon fed all our lives.
I enjoyed this book. And I believe much of the information is valid. If the South was so wrong, and the North was so right, Why did the nation, as a whole, take so long in providing equal rights to all men (and much later, women)?

Summary: Book on Confederate Political Correctness
Comment: I find it almost impossible to believed that this book was actually written by two Americans who was educated in this nation. Selective quotes, selective choices of sources and totally one sided in perception, to list the follies of this book will probably required another book! Any educated Civil War (or "War for Southern Independence") reader will have a good time reading this book which borderlined on historical fantasy. But in fairness to the authors, if you wished to fight "northern propaganda" as they see it, you have to write a "southern propagranda" which this book truly is. If anyone wishes to read what a Soviet style twisted history book look like, this is it! Joseph Goebbels would be proud. I supposed the only harm this book might do is that it might mislead the undereducated, uninformed and the totally clueless portion of the English speaking population of the world.
