    If only my history teachers spoke with the same passion as Doris. I might have actually listened

    Glad we didn't have to wait thru a long rambling introduction. We know Doris Kearns Goodwin as a top-flight historian.

    @MrGrevy, I sure do, I would suggest that we talk physics because I prefer the field over history; however, I fear that your vexation would only increase exponentially. The negative connotations associated with historical revisionism center around being unable to come to grips with well known facts about historical leaders, politics, the causes of conflicts, etc., all the while refusing to accept what historical texts and journals have to say.
    You fit the description to a tee.

    Lincoln helped change the fate of liberated slaves.

    @MrGrevy, article? I cited the name and page number of a college text that speaks to the United States' approved measures for war, including but not limited to the naval blockade which blocked the entry of food and weapons and the export of cotton.

    @MrGrevy, that's a non-answer. If you actually think anyone with a doctoral degree would write and attempt to publish just that, high school and undergraduate level history facts, then you are completely vexed with respect to academia.
    As for myself, I hold a B.S. in physics and a minor in history from the University of Iowa where I graduated Magna Cum Laude.

    @MrGrevy, I am a moron? What, were you homeschooled? I only described Lincoln by his actions documented in well known documentaries, like those of Ken Burns, and in public school text books.
    I never gave my personal support for an amendment that would forbid the U.S. Congress from ever interfering with slavery, as Lincoln did on March 4th, 1861.
    Please attend and satisfactorily complete a degree program at an accredited university before responding to me, thanks.

    An honest press in the US is over with Trump.

    @MrGrevy, LOL, no professional historian is going to write an article about something that is common knowledge amongst high school students. Just who do you think writes college texts and where do they get their information...?
    Are you a history revisionist, I provide a citation in a standard college level text book yet you tap dance around the facts...?
