The book arrived in good time; as well as in good condition; as advertized.18 of 25 people found the following review helpful. The book I have been looking for around 5 years!By JacobHe makes the argument that the Old South; its finest intellectual hour seen in Thornwell; was much superior intellectually than the North. By the way; this is published by the scholarly Mercer University Press; so it ain't no hick from the sticks writing.Thornwell also warned of the coming religious crisis; that which we call the Civil War. While criticizing unbiblical aspects of Southern slavery; he primarily warned against the rising humanistic and unitarian tide from the North which would overwhelm the South; not only militarily; but also--and more deadly--spiritually.If I can restate the thesis in different terms: with the fall of the Confederacy; we saw the last bastion of a thoroughly Christian civilization destroyed. America would move from a decentralized republic to a consolidated Empire (which subsequent decades proved chillingly).3 of 12 people found the following review helpful.
