Tucker...falls victim to the human tendency to reshape history to fit and persuade others to his modern view.

Just like so many lefty libs can't stop themselves from applying their modern notions of standards to historical figures. You're a good example, forever castigated for brutal tactics toward black Union soldiers and starting the Klan (before the Democrats got hold of it).

All that post-war good work for nought, your bust removed from the Tennessee capitol as if it were an object of shame. But that terrible caricature standing by the freeway being removed was good riddance to bad taste.
