Jeet Heer, the Naomi Wolf of history. Ignore @HeerJeet's trollish, dishonest, & inane declamations, read instead James M. McPherson, "Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era", "For Cause & Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil War", "Drawn with the Sword" etc.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1399131367917694978 …

Yes. Everything he’s saying here is more or less straight out of Foner’s Fiery Trial. It’s not wild revisionism.
