Catch the NPR interview with Richard Slotkin on his new book.

It's going on now, and it's more interesting than anything ever posted
here on Lincoln, McPherson and the war.

Slotkin is great, but he uses "the South" when what is meant is "the
Confederacy" or the "rebels".

It's time to give up this habit.

I've already started calling the Confederates "the Confederates". LOL
