diffuse accusations of one-sidedness in Burns's otherwise excellent documentary.

Though an examination of Foote's biographical write-up in Wikipedia might provide some unexpected revelations. (not a defense of him. just info.)

Regarding the phrase, "South shall rise..." I think many of us always knew the sentiment behind it. It's why I've often written, "the South shall reich again."
