He further states in part, this group believes the Old South would have rejoined the Union in a generation if they had been allowed to secede from the Union. Doud ends his article by stating these are the views of some Southerners today, asking, do you (the reader) suppose they could be right? No! Mr. Doud, I personally, unequivocally do not believe they have a point, and I most certainly do not suppose they could be right. My question to you, Mr. Doud, is, “Do you believe they have a point and do you suppose they could be right?” <strong>Paul Milor, Madera</strong> <em>(Editor’s note: No.)</em> Chuck Doud, editor and publisher, of the Madera Tribune, recently wrote an article headlined, “Did Lincoln make the right call?”

No! Mr. Doud, I personally, unequivocally do not believe they have a point, and I most certainly do not suppose they could be right.

My question to you, Mr. Doud, is, “Do you believe they have a point and do you suppose they could be right?”
