Too bad you had not been on this board over the last 13 or so years. You may have gotten a lot information already hashed out. If you a specific subject you would like to debate, one subject at a time is best, I'm sure we can provide you with some lively arguments. Most of us, have in the past, have kept it civil and I am one that believes in facts and research to present history. I believe history must be thought of as "it just was", and no blame to anyone. However, no person in history should be treated as a golden idol without fault or questionable motives beyond what is presented in popular history.
