Another day, another astonishingly dishonest handling of sources by cheerleaders for the reputation of Robert E. Lee. In which (*) a book that says “Although these letters are dismissed by most of Lee’s biographers as exaggerated, or simply as unfounded abolitionist propaganda, they are hard to ignore. . . .” is quoted to say “these letters are dismissed by most of Lee’s biographers as exaggerated or simply as unfounded abolitionist propaganda.” (* Check out how Korda 2014 is used by Rjensen in the first edit, and then note what the fuller quote says when I repaired it in the second edit.) http://ift.tt/1pSUE8h http://ift.tt/SoIVzN
