Philip Leigh Bücher

Critical Race Theory is a derivative of Communism. It is not something to be debated but a device to shut off all disagreeing thought. It is a form of indoctrination used as a weapon by the enemies of traditional Western civilization and American values. Yet it is now official policy in every major American institution-government, military, media, business, church, synagogue, and education down to elementary school.Historian Philip Leigh is the author of nine books, including some on controversial aspects of American history. In The Deadly Frauds he explains the nature and consequences of Critical Race Theory, its Identity Politics enforcement arm, and the damage they are doing to our civilization.

The book delves into a pivotal moment in the Civil War, highlighting the Confederacy's peak influence between June and December 1862. It argues that the true "high tide" came before Pickett's Charge, coinciding with Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and the Confederacy's failure to gain international recognition. As battlefield losses mounted and European support waned, the opportunity for Confederate success diminished. Ultimately, this period marked the beginning of the South's decline, characterized by determination amidst inevitable defeat in the following years.

The book delves into the covert trade between the North and South during the American Civil War, highlighting the significance of cotton to the Northern economy. It reveals how captured Sea Islands were utilized for cotton production and how Matamoras, Mexico, emerged as a key trading hub for munitions, much of which originated from Northern sources. The narrative uncovers the intense contraband trade that flourished after key Confederate losses, illustrating how Northerners engaged directly with the Confederate government for cotton. This study enriches the understanding of wartime commerce.
