Civil War revisionism

Civil War revisionism refers to the re-examination and reinterpretation of historical events, causes, and narratives surrounding the American Civil War. It often involves challenging established views by offering new perspectives or uncovering overlooked facts, sometimes with political or ideological motives. While some revisionism aims to deepen understanding and correct biases, it can also be controversial if it distorts facts or downplays critical issues like slavery. Overall, it’s a process by which historians and others continually reassess Civil War history to achieve a more nuanced and accurate picture.
