...that the Marxist-inspired revisionist historians...

Hyperbole aside, who are the 'revisionist historians', Marxist or otherwise? Those of us who state Jackson owned slaves or those who claim he didn't, in spite of all evidence to the contrary?

Not unless you're a historian........I had in mind people like McPherson, Foner, and their running buddy Mark Neely.

And DiLorenzo and the Lew Rockwell crowd on the other side.

SORRY, i'm not letting you get away with that.

certain terms in historiography have ESTABLISHED MEANINGS.

REVISIONISM & REVISIONIST HISTIOGRAPHY came out of the RADICAL SCHOOL of the most extreme, leftist (some would say COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST), southHATING, self-righteous poison-ivy league schools of the northeast in the mid-1960s.

since that time period, scholars of all sorts have agreed that REVISIONISM is a LEFTIST concept. whatever else southrons are, we are not LEFTISTS/SOCIALISTS/MARXISTS.
