"Could you give some examples of historians "lean[ing] one way or the other" in a simple "pro-Union" or "pro-Southern" way?'
Craig, Jamie just gave you two excellent examples and I have explained "one way or the other" in reference to "north" (one way) or "South." (the other)
Sorry, Craig, I cannot make it any clearer than that.
So, I ask again,
Craig, I wish someone could identify for me an authentic, historian, respected by both northern and southern tilting historians alike, who does not tilt in one direction or the other, i.e., one who writes as close to the truth as truth may be defined - because he or she researches BOTH POINTS OF VIEW equally and includes both points of view in his or her citations before publication.
I would like to read one of his or her completely unbiased works.
Are you able to give me an example of such an historian?
