[quote=Anonymous]Here is an example of a historian misconstruing the facts: 
The Civil War vs. War of Northern Aggression

"The answers also reveal that almost 150 years after the first shots echoed at Fort Sumter, and as students in history survey classes begin their springtime Civil War lessons, there is no common blueprint for teaching the most divisive of U.S. conflicts.

Although professional historians agree that the central cause of the war was the South's efforts to retain slavery, some amateur historians still fight about it. As a result, the way that students learn about the subject -- probably more than any other -- depends as much on their teacher's sensibilities as on state standards and textbooks."

Written histories are only as good as their authors (and transcribers/translators).

Even the Bible has changed over time.
