An Answer
The strenuous ob.iection which Mr.
McDavid takes to the bold-face type
for the phrase "the Southern portion
of the United States" is the only new
and pertinent point he brings to the
discussion.
I have no intention here of carry-
ing on a point-by-point debate with
Mr. McDavid. Nor am I interested in
re-fighting the Civil War. If I may
be permitted to re-state my stand,
and repeat what I considered to be
the apparent thesis of the editorial, I
will be quite content to withdraw
from any further participation in.
