So, you have no basis for criticism against anything he actually said in THIS article, and have to go rummaging for a salty quotation that you don't like---even if it may also be historically correct. Many slaves did enlist in the Confederate Army.
You can argue about what evils were inherent in the founding of America. I believe it is a mixed bag and major evils were ultimately expelled. (When my forebears came to America from England, they landed in Georgia. They quickly decamped and resettled in the midwest to get away from slavery. They did not want to raise their children in that environment.) But rejecting this guy's observations over a snit about opinion is just lame.
Half of my career was fighting the Cold War, so I got to know the enemy pretty well. His remarks about the knee-jerk xenophobia hit the truth. I see it here on the page, from time to time, as some anon expresses anti-Nazi bigotry against mere Germans. (I happen to be a quarter German, and I have seen this all my life.)
He's free to criticize the US as much as he wants but the fact that he moved there and got his house washed away is a delightful bit of divine justice. It takes a special kind of narcissist to move abroad and then start criticizing the new home and its people while praising the one he left. I hope he reminded all the locals who helped him out they were bigoted xenophobes.
The site itself is also a personality cult where entire threads are devoted to commenters wishing good health to the inimitable master because he can't stop stuffing his face and all criticism is banned immediately.
Just be sure to distinguish between bad manners and bad information. What he's saying matches other information I have seen. The unwary may reap an unpleasant surprise.
