McLennan as a Confederate General

See this is an extreme example of Centennialism. See how it tries to allude to the Confederates being parallel to the Nazis. This is what the backlash is against.

One blog by a McClellan fanboy who created the term Centennialism is hardly a backlash against anything.;)

Oh, and Thomas needed no rehabilitation. He was a good General, but the main driver behind the extreme promotion of Thomas recently (such as in Bobrick's eggregious tome) has been that somehow he was morally superior based upon remaining with the Union.

I might also note that comparing them to the Nazis is also insulting because at least when Nazis invaded territory other than their own they were able to hold it for a duration of time. ;)
