I think that history will always have fallacies in it.  As the cliche goes, the winner of the war gets to write the history.  Inherent in that saying is an admission that history is far from perfect.  Now obviously we must strive to make it as accurate as possible so I think concern is good but I'm sure a ton of history that we have just come to accept is false.  After all, we weren't there and we can't go back to prove it on a lot of things.__________My stupid history professor is making us write a term paper over Christmas Break.  Professor Scrooge.  Grrrrrrr  >:(

Welcome to the forum!Many academic historians write their agendas into the textbooks we read.  It is up to the student to examine the facts and always compare research from other sources.
