In other words you perpetuate the myths - elaborating and enhancing as you go. I understand how emotionally invested you are.
Which one are you— of the tag team three? Will we next hear of Manifest Destiny in the westward expansion— for the Union? Bully, just bully.
Not “in other words”-— those are YOUR words.
You understand very little— it isn’t emotion, it is fact, as differentiated from the academic drivel self posters spew on any FR thread of this nature. Wannabe armchair lecturers, likely whose people were never there, pure and simple. You want to regurgitate some needle neck scholar’s BS go right ahead. It is like reading Walter Duranty’s version of the Soviets-delusional purposeful ignorance. Kevin Costner in Cuba w/ Sean Penn. Viva!.
There are very few historians who have gotten it correct, unemotionally and factually, and there are even some above the Mason Dixon line.
