Talk:James Henley Thornwell

THAT's your evidence that Thornwell was an "advocate of slavery"?
"Thornwell was also an advocate of slavery and in 1850 said: "The parties in this conflict [referring to the conflict over slavery] are not merely Abolitionists and slaveholders - they are atheists, socialists, communists, red republicans, Jacobins on one side, and the friends of order and regulated freedom on the other. In one word, the world is the battleground -Christianity and atheism the combatants; and the progress of humanity at stake." (Quoted in Labor's Untold Story, Richard O. Boyer and Herbert M. Morais, Cameron Associates, New York, 1955)"

...for Thornwell in Southern pamphlets on secession. This guy lived, ate & breathed the righteous justification of slavery and the Old South. Bobrowen (talk) 00:38, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Legacy section is ill-sourced
Abbeville Institute article cited was published in 2015 but Eugene Genovese, the author, died in 2012. Where did the article come from? Bgilroy26 (talk) 16:29, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
