Publisher's Summary:
Granny Clampett, on the TV sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies, described the War Between the States as "when the Yankees invaded America" and, indeed, it was!
Their invasion of America, however, goes back much farther than the conflict of 1861-1865. It began as soon as they dropped their anchor in Plymouth Bay. Since that time, they have meddled, cheated, and lied their way into every nook and cranny of American life.
The Southern people warned others about the radical utopians of New England, and even went to war to get away from them, but to no avail. Now all Americans, not just Southerners, are subject to the whims of "those people" and their never ending mission to recreate, not only America, but the entire world in their bizarre, sanctimonious image.
Dr. Clyde Wilson, in this first installment of The Wilson Files, takes the Yankee problem head on. After decades of historical research and personal observation, he exposes and explains these pesky purveyors of mischief and mayhem! If you want to understand America, American History, and the upside-down dystopian nightmare in which we all live, you have to understand the problem.
We do not have an economic problem, a race problem, a class problem, a gender problem, a toilet access problem, a drug problem, a gun problem, or any other ideological or social problem at the root of America's dysfunctional anticulture; we have a Yankee problem!

I expected a light enjoyable series of essays with a bit of humor and insight. The book is well written and quite thought provoking. Instead of what I expected it explained a good deal of the attitudes of New Englanders and how the United States became what it is today to the great grief of those who long for the spirit of the founding of this federation of republics. The heroes of the struggle for liberty, men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, George Mason and Patrick Henry are no longer in charge. We are ruled by Yankees whose communal village governments have become a nation that dreams of empire. We have a rich government and poor citizens instead of rich citizens and a poor government. The rich are those who manipulate power and not those who provide the goods and services we all need and desire.
A Good Antidote
probably for the standard disinformation on which our tolerance of "Yankee Imperialism" is based. Fits in well with the idea that all wars are banker's wars - which indeed they are. Does not address the question of which bankers and the extent to which foreign interests dominated. The lesson for modern readers is that the "Eastern Establishment" never scrupled over the shedding of American blood if there was a buck in it for themselves.
Excellent.
Good Book!! A little like a college textbook but once past that it's a really great book.
Interesting
Interesting reading. But, the author writes as if we now our history....I'm reading to learn, so some info is over my head. The author has a problems with George W, the second, which I'm not in agreement with. I think it's worth reading.
OUTSTANDING
Outstanding essays (as always) by the inimitable Clyde N. Wilson.
