How Is David Barton Viewed By Mainstream Historians?

by [deleted]

From what I read, David Barton is largely a historical revisionist, is this true?

revisionism can mean lots of things. Barton is a guy that has made up sources that don't exist, takes things out of context, and is driven by his ideology and desire to profit. There is a reason he doesn't have a university affiliation: A) his terminal degree is a B.A. and B) His so-called scholarship is a dangerous joke. That said, if you are a fundamentalist who is desperately looking for validation for your beliefs in the past, he's your man.
