If Foote aggrandizes anyone in this 3,400 page work, it's Lincoln and Grant. In my opinion, they both get the most favorable spit-shine of the lot which takes away from the "Lost Cause" narrative critics bandy about.

Maybe it's just because he's got that accent and he's from Mississippi.

Also I do highly recommend Shelby Foote's book on the American Civil War, it truly is great
>but he's sympathetic to the south!
Maybe a little but so what. Every historian has a bias that should be noted before you start reading, or that you will figure out as you do.

Still the best civil war book.

You don't know shit. He got accused for years about Civil War being too soft on the southerners, some """historians""" even called it "Lost Cause" documentary just because they'd been seething about based Shelby Foote
