Blue,
I agree with ya' there is a lot of Myths in History propagated by well meaning folks that have made a silk purse out of a Sow ear! For example Here is another one: Uncle Toms Cabin was a Fictional Story with an Abolitionist Writer providing the details (very political motivated ) Another good Example Benedict Arnold. Who started out a Rebel fighting for Independence(At the Battle of Saratoga) But, when Others got more accolades(promotions) he switched Back to the British side and look at all the credit and Publicity he got ! If I remember British history he is considered a Turn coat (not respected)because he switched sides for convenience and didn't take a stand and stick with it! Where as Washington was respected for his stand he stood the course.
