Plagiarism As It Is, or The Southern Movement Gets a Black Eye

Doug Wilson of Moscow, Idaho and Steve Wilkins, pastor of Auburn Avenue Presbyterian Church in Monroe, Louisiana and former board member of The League of the South, have been caught red-handed. It seems that large sections of their booklet, Southern Slavery As It Was, were lifted verbatim from Fogel and Engerman's 1974 work entitled Time on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery. Check out these side-by-side comparisons for the proof. Maybe the folks at Cary Christian School ought to reconsider the material they are providing their students. In my opinion, Nehemiah Adams' A Southside View of Slavery (1854) runs circles around Wilson and Wilkins when it comes to reliability.
