Revisionist theory????

In the War for Southern Independence, revisionist history start with Alexander H. Stephens book, "A Constitutional View of the War Between the States" (1868) and Jefferson Davis's book "Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government" (1881).

I've seen the Stephens book but not the Davis one. In what way were these books revisionist?

Democrats such as Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stephens started the pro-Confederate revisionist nonsense which Democrats have continued ever since.

WRONG ANSWER.

REVISIONIST historiography began at the earliest in 1965 at the history department @ harvard university.

revisionist historiography is now and always has been a reflection of the most extreme, hatefilled, self-serving,self-righteous, leftist/statist/fascist school of political thought out of the "oh, so PC" poison-ivy league schools of new england.

none of the writings/thoughts of Davis nor Stephens fit that description.

SORRY, but i'm not buying any;neither are any of the more well-read sorts on FR.

once again, until about 1960, traditional historians were either neutral or openly PRO-southern.
