Donna, not one source but an opinion I formed from a myriad of sources, many of them primary sources. What I do for a living is write books about history and I’m known for accuracy. I mostly use primary sources, and always question secondary sources (many of them are amazingly inaccurate). I was encouraged to write a book about the American revolution and when I began my research process I was shocked by what I saw. During that time I found myself speaking at a school in Boston (Boston!) and they asked me what I was working on next. When I began to rant about how much brainwashing and false hoods were fed to the colonists, getting them to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the wealth of the elites, and I saw the looks on the faces of the teachers, I realized I better not write that book at all. And I better keep my mouth shut too. I had already spent a lot of money on research, but I dropped it like a hot potato. That’s why I prefaced my comment with IMHO, because it’s just my opinion, and the question this morning brought out a bit of the old rant lol.
