@Bilbobaggins or should I say "Hi, Issac"

I figure you wrote the book... I search the web could not find a bio on Issac or a book summary. I see it is on Amazon but with no bio on the author or summary of the book.
I think you need to post a link to the chapters and does Issac have blog, or web site or FB page about him and the book.
MY first thought it's a neo Confederate, lost Cause, or Abbeville tripe but if I could read excerpts from the chapters we could debate the notions in the book. You could surmise each chapter we could debate merits...

@Bilbobaggins

If you read or wrote book maybe you can surmise the book or chapters to give us something to work with here on this board.

 

[Bilbobaggins]

Thank you for being so interested, and I am the author. I would love to discuss any of the topics I have written about. Unfortunately, lack of time prevents me from engaging in it, but perhaps this weekend will allow for it. I understand you would like a summary of each chapter, but to save me time, is there a particular subject that you would like to discuss?

 

[diane]

I agree with 5fish. Just throw out something and we can look it over, maybe debate some. Is this your first book?

 

[5fish]

@Bilbobaggins

We can not discuss the book unless there is a summery of the book or even better summeries of the chapters or even better you post your answers to the questions each chapter is tackling. We can then debates the topics.

You hold all the cards so you have to deal them out...

Amazon.com : Defending Dixie's Land: What Every American Should Know About The South And The Civil War

"History is the propaganda of the victorious," observed Voltaire, and the history of America's so-called "Civil War" is no exception…It is under that prevailing narrative that Isaac. C. Bishop, a native of New England and the author of Defending Dixie's Land, came to find his interest in the South. Steeped in that narrative, he accepted it without question…With further research, the Truth began to reveal itself to the author, culminating in this fine book. The Truth cannot be killed. It may be buried alive, but it will not die. Like an archaeologist, Bishop has discovered the tomb of the Truth, and with this book he has rolled the stone away.
- H. V. Traywick, Jr. Author of Empire of the Owls: Reflections on the North’s War Against Southern Secession

The Southern Confederacy and its war for independence has always had defenders among informed students of history. These defenders have appeared in every generation. Some of them are from north of the Potomac or even across the Atlantic. The case for the South is here made again. For the future health of America It must be repeated until it sinks in.
-Clyde Wilson Emeritus Distinguished Professor of History, University of South Carolina

Are you interested in knowing the actual history of your country, or are you content with the propagandized version the winners of wars conjure up to feed schoolchildren? When it comes to the story and tradition of the U.S. South, and especially the events surrounding the Civil War (1861–1865), you may need to brace yourself. What you think you know about it is likely untrue – and not just by a little.

Isaac C Bishop is a lifelong New-Englander who happened to become interested in southern culture. But when he began to earnestly study its history and folklore, he was shocked by what he learned. Thus began an intense multi-year quest to unearth a true story which resulted in Defending Dixie's Land. Should you choose to set aside your preconceived biases and “take the red pill” with the author, you will discover:

• How the United States government was originally meant to function, and by what means that system was usurped in the mid-1800’s
• The real reasons the cotton states initially seceded
• The entirely different factors which prompted the upper South to then also secede
• An accurate picture of what life was like for minorities in both the North and South, and, as inherently wrong as the institution of slavery has always been on planet earth, why southern slaves generally viewed their situation as preferable
• Character traits and motives of Abraham Lincoln which shatter the humanitarian hero image painted in our minds
• Eye-opening facts about African-American support for the Confederacy, the history and current status of slavery worldwide, insights into the true enemy of free peoples everywhere, and more.

Defending Dixie's Land is an all-encompassing defense of the Southern cause; readers will no longer view American history the same.

that's a a nonsensical question as long as you don't offer at least the file type - it's not as easy as 1 megabyte = 2.516.582,4 liters, is it?

Will do so, perhaps this weekend, and thank you for your interest. We should start with slavery since that is my opening chapter and the elephant in the room.

 

[Bilbobaggins]

I believe the length of book is around 419 for the paperback.

Conclusion

So am I correct in infering from your chapter titles that a major part of your argument is that Southern chattel slavery really wasn't that bad and most black people were okay with being slaves?

How the United States government was originally meant to function, and by what means that system was usurped in the mid-1800’s

insights into the true enemy of free peoples everywhere

Would I also be correct in appraising your political views as Libertarian?
