	Encyclopedia: Revisionist history (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Broadly, it is a skeptical approach, that history as it has been traditionally told may not be entirely accurate,and that perhaps an accurate history is as unobtainable as a dispassionate autobiography.
		Revisionist history is also used to promote or slander persons, or promote or discredit an idea -- for example, bringing evidence that Abraham Lincoln was homosexual, or that Winston Churchill was a Communist sympathizer.
		The author is a Professor of Modern History, at University of Cambridge and he was a major expert witness at the trial, and this book presents both his view of the trial, and much of his expert witness report, including his research on the Dresden death count.

	Revisionist Historians
		History is a continuing dialogue between the present and the past.
		This assertion was "revisionist history" with a vengeance; the U. government knew at the time it was received that the intelligence was unreliable and learned soon afterwards that it was based on forged documents.
		For many of us, the term "revisionist historians" recalls distasteful memories from the 1970s of Holocaust deniers who called themselves "revisionists." One hopes that in resorting to this phrase now, the president's associates are not seeking to falsely and maliciously link present-day critics of the administration to those who misrepresented the past for nefarious ends.

	CoN 9.2: Revisionist History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This redefining of Canada's questionable racial history continues as the artists who created many of the images for this text ignore historical fact in favor of a modern, liberal, colour-blind view of a Canada that never was.
		As the second picture indicates, this reinvention of Canadian history in a racial and gender harmonious light is untrue and done purely to serve a false sense of nationalistic pride in a sense of multiculturalism that is a recent development.
		North American history has some particularly dark parts we choose not to look at, pretending that they didn't happen and making a text book that support a lie like that is tantamount to stating that the Holocaust never happened.

	Revisionist History as Politically Correct Policy -- 10/18/2002
		That this argument is being taken seriously by politicians in Mexico, and their supporters in the United States, is an illustration of the impact politically correct revisionist history can have on present day foreign and domestic policy.
		Undaunted, those insulated by the academy or the bureaucracy continue to extol the virtues of revisionist history, and define the world in the most simplistic and naive terms possible.
		It is both sad and disturbing to witness a young generation who so blindly accept revisionist history, and who so freely cast dispersions on the sacrifices of those who came before them.

	Epinions.com - Comments on 'Revisionist History in the Making'
		Closer to home, the revisionist trend continues, I'm afraid: right wing pressure groups have been working on the park service to revise the videos at the Lincoln Monument to remove footage of gay rights and pro-choice demonstrations and to replace it with footage of events more to their liking, some of which didn't happen there.
		History is always subject to the political pressures of the present (whenever that present happens to occur), but it's good to be reminded of what actually happened, lest we start actually believing the revisions.
		I love American history but I managed to fail it twice in school because what I wrote in my book reports and research reports conflicted with what was taught to us in our history books.

	Today's Take: Revisioning Bush's 'revisionist history'
		Their "scholarship" was revisionist history that denied 6 million Jews died in Nazi extermination camps.
		These revisionist "historians" argue that far fewer Jews died than history books teach; in fact, they claim the inflated numbers were a Jewish plot to justify the establishment of the state of Israel.
		Obviously, there have been others: revisionists who claim that slavery in the United States was vastly blown out of proportion or that fls wanted slavery and resisted efforts to end it, revisionist theologians who suggest that the existence of Jesus Christ was a literary fabrication, and so on.

	Revisionist History
		Walter McDougall is Editor of Orbis, co-director of FPRI's History Academy, and the Alloy-Ansin Professor of International Relations at the University of Pennsylvania.
		As such, United States History: In the Course of Human Events, to be released in 1997 by the West Publishing Company of St. Paul, Minnesota, represents a high-roller's gamble to the effect that those controversial standards will indeed steer the purchasing decisions of state and local school boards nationwide.
		In sum, this is history from the bottom up, informed by a bias toward groups rather than individuals or the nation as a whole, and by a perspective on what happened to people.People to whom things happen are implicitly victims.

	What Did Bush Mean by "Revisionist Historians"?
		Rees is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Southern Colorado.
		If American history teaches us values that justify the war in Iraq, anyone who questions the reasons that the war occurred is not supporting American values and is, therefore, a revisionist historian.
		In the lead-up to the recent war and in its aftermath, President Bush has politicized history and history education by tying both to support for a war that historians are just beginning to consider.

		In fact most history is written for a purpose and frequently for money (this article most certainly is), and as they say, he who pays the piper calls the tune.
		One organisation that falsified history for its own ends is the late lamented Radio Corporation of America, now reduced to a mere brand name or trading title of General Electric in America and assigned in the consumer electronics field to Thomson of France and in sound recordings to the (German) Bertelsmann Music Group.
		Another commonplace of RCA history is that the powerhouse behind the company (David Sarnoff, another Russian émigré) had begun his career as a wireless operator at the time of the sinking of the Titanic and received its final transmissions.

	Revisionist history - [Sunday Herald]
		The notion of the confessional poet, whatever it was ever worth, is entirely blown apart: at his best, and that was often, Lowell used life as artistic material, artfully manipulated, not as an occasion for rhymed self-pity.
		Superficially a response, of sorts, to John Berryman’s coruscating and psychotic Dream Songs, a project completed in 1969, it also seemed to show a slapdash, manic Lowell being overwhelmed by grandiose ambition: this was history (or History) with a biblical beginning and a conclusion in the person of Robert Traill Spence Lowell IV.
		History, as Notebook became, was a more subtle book than a superficial reading might suggest.

		This list is created by due diligent searching through historical recounts, newspaper and magazine archives dating from the period, official documents of state, county and federal records preserved from the times, and free-will admissions and records provided to their biographers by the principle persons active in the committees.
		He was both a concealer of facts and a revisionist, confusing generations of later historians looking to the Alta California to give a true and clear picture of the events of its time.
		If he was paid to write revisionist history, the receipts and cancelled checks have not yet turned up in public, but like the Annals of San Francisco book, Bancroft makes party-line statements contradicted in his own pages by facts he himself puts forth.

	The Kennedy-Johnson Tax Cut: A Revisionist History
		The conventional wisdom regarding modern American macroeconomic history is that after the Keynesian Revolution of the 1930s, business cycles were largely tamed, in part because of the intelligent use of fiscal policy.
		Martin Prachowny challenges that wisdom in his interesting and valuable account of the Kennedy-Johnson tax cut, writing what he calls a "revisionist history." Yet the revisionism is a different form than I would have predicted ex ante.
		Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz had written their Monetary History of the United States before the tax cut was approved, and the early Keynesian notion that "money does not matter" (which seemed, roughly, to be the Heller view) was under serious attack.

	Revisionist History \| MetaFilter
		It's somewhat difficult to believe that "revisionist historians" is the first word that comes to George's mind when he thinks of his doubters.
		And, anyway, these "revisionist historians" will soon be asking an awful lot more questions (like 'how come this guy got the government?', 'what strange alchemy turned the laugh of the country into the biggest scare in the world?', 'wasn't he the guy who chickened out of most of his military obligations?', and many, many more).
		It is clear that the use of the "revisionist" appellation by "Team B" is intended merely to invoke this "neo-revisionist" negative connotation--in essence, calling critics pro-Saddam and/or anti-Semite via subtext--as part of the now well-documented Republican strategy of villifying critics rather than responding to their arguments.

		There’s been a lot of revisionist history around lately, from the president, and from the Democrats who are trying to distance themselves from a war that they couldn’t support strongly enough less than a year ago.

		It is the fate of the revisionist historian to forever wander the frontiers beyond party and dogma, cognizant of the original sin of his own subjectivity, but always struggling to see more, and give an account of what he sees with an utter disregard for the consequences of so fugitive a vocation.

	Gary Leupp: Bush and the "Revisionist Historians"
		He has spoken out about Holocaust revisionism in the past, a very evil form of revisionist history that denies there ever was a Holocaust, and perhaps that is his sole contact with the phrase.
		All revisionist history entails is a new interpretation of some period or topic in the past based on a changed environment and maybe the collection of new information.
		For example, certain French revisionist historians in the 1980s began challenging the traditional view of the French Revolution as a heroic struggle for liberty, fraternity, equality, and instead interpreted it as the harbinger of modern totalitarianisms.

	Solomon Spalding and Revisionist History
		Quinn can claim that the Liahona and the interpreters were real artifacts of Nephite history, but according to his own standards of evidence, he must deal with the literary and mythical parallels.
		In her 1974 article, Jan Shipps argued that "Smith's use of the seerstone was an important indication of his early and continued interest in extra-rational phenomena and that it played an important role in his spiritual development" (Waterman 1999, 37).
		Revisionist historians must follow their own formulated standards, which include an open mind and determination to follow the evidence wherever it leads, dispassionate and objective analysis, the uniform application of standards of evidence, the use of parallel evidence, and concentration on the text to arrive at correct conclusions.

	Revisionist History and Creationist Rhetoric
		To Lyell, geology had an preferred model for explaining observable phenomena and deciphering the Earth's history - a model which involved the study of present processes, assuming they were characteristic of past times, and using those processes to explain how the present geology of the Earth came into being.
		Clearly, on these points relating to the history of evolutionary thinking, as seen by mainstream historians of science, Morris' assertions are deeply flawed and just simply false.

		That version is now so ingrained that our recent history and current events are usually reported, to one degree or another, from that perspective.

	Defending the Reagan Legacy: Rejecting Revisionist History by Mickey G. Craig (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		A fresh look at the 1980's and the Reagan Legacy is necessary because the cultural elite has unfairly portrayed them and him as an unmitigated failure.The cultural elite, including, the major media, most academics, and the Hollywood entertainment industry have portrayed the '80s as a decade of failure and setbacks.
		With respect to the economy, the decade of Ronald Reagan is depicted as a decade of greed, with the rich benefiting at the expense of the poor and middle class and at the expense of our children due to unprecedented deficits.
		He believed that a strong military would put pressures on the corrupt and inherently weak domestic institutions of the Soviets in such a manner that they would be unable to continue their global ambitions and that the system would eventually collapse completely.
