btw, Dr DiLorenzo is anything BUT a "revisionist historian".

REVISIONIST historiography is a LEFTIST/Marxist/FASCIST HERESY of traditional scholarship.

whatever else we southerners are it is neither LEFTIST nor REVISIONIST.

Tom Di Lorenzo, whom i KNOW personally, is a TRADITIONAL historian.

Revisionist? Yes. Historian? Hardly.

Di Lorenzo is the perfect example of a revisionist historian. He is trying to REVISE the mainstream historical view of Abraham Lincoln as some sort of an American political God.
Revisionism has nothing to do with leftist or rightist, it has to do with a different point of view.
