“Professor Blight delivers a very cohesive narrative, backed by powerful writing of his own and of other great historians, and the ever present journal and Douglass quotes. After listening to the entire course one is astouded by America's ability to ever heal from the war, since Blight seems to be entirely devotes to proving, 150 years later, that the north was fighting a just, quasi holy war, against a badly misrepresented south. Hateful actually. He talks great lenghts about Lincoln, clearly his Aeneas like hero. As i have come to expect from Yale courses, its full of ideological liberal propoganda (though not thankfully as much as professor Merriman). As the american liberal coast drifts away into europe and the conservative heartland (and south) clings to what used to bem the US, onde wonders if professor Blight understand the grave consequences of his divisive ideas.”
