What does the Klan have to do with the War of Secession?

Actually I'm disappointed that you haven't taken the time to open that guy's book you mentioned and list his main points cogent to this thread.

I think the most likely reason is that the guy didn't actually write the specific points you had in mind. This is a common problem for those who have read very many books.

In the meantime, how does repetitive snideness elevate you personally?
