[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3314484, member: 10465"] History is written by the winner. I doesn't really matter whether the information is factual or not, all history texts reflect the author and editor's bias, view, and thus their report of events. A small example: What is your view of John Wilkes Booth, the man who shot Abraham Lincoln? But what if the Confederacy had won the Civil War? I imagine Booth would be presented to the reader as a hero; the man who brought down the evil leader of the oppressive North and sought to restrict Confederate American rights. [/QUOTE]
