What Does Doug Wilson Believe?

Race & Slavery

The Confederacy Was Right on All the Essential Issues

So I also take it as a given that the South was right on all the essential constitutional and cultural issues surrounding the war, and this is my reason for calling myself unreconstructed.

In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 1 quote from 2005, from Black & Tan, cited to the source.

So I also take it as a given that the South was right on all the essential constitutional and cultural issues surrounding the war, and this is my reason for calling myself unreconstructed. I do not want to stick to my guns on this as a matter of pride, or because the issue is at the top of my list of priorities. It is not. But even so, I will not recant anything concerning that war, however trivial, simply because the current regime of intoleristas demands that I do so.
