Bellesiles vs. History

by Joseph R. Stromberg

[Posted October 3, 2000]

Masquerading as an historical investigation, this book is really about
promoting statist public policies that reveal the class hatred felt by many
intellectuals for a broad section of the American people

For all we know, he may write volume III, proving that only one percent of Americans ever
owned a printing press, that early Americans didn’t hold their pens right, that they couldn’t
spell, and that American speech has always been about stupid and unimportant things.
American speakers and writers have always been racists, xenophobes, and haters. Certified
Great Men may need to regulate speech-- and even "infringe" it-- given the awful results of
free speech to date.

This book could benefit from additional research into it's facts and to discovering related facts that bear light on the subject.

LOL. That could be said about everything ever written.
