What is a revisionist?

In: US Civil War [Edit categories]

Answer:

A revisionist is one who rewrites history to suit their own beliefs. Take for example Neo-Confederates who argue that Slavery had little if nothing to do with the Civil-War. Or Neo-Nazis who say that the holocaust never happened, or not as many Jews we're killed in the concentration-camps.
