Are you kidding? How in the world can you take the preeminent author on the American Civil War (trilogy lasting some 2,700 pages) and describe him as a "pop historian"? He couldn't be less of one. If you disagree, name me a better series on the Civil War than the one he wrote.
Cameron Wilson
Do I even need to put him in here
Jacob Martin
>long length = good history
He was a novelist before he tried his hand at history. Just because something is "pop history" doesn't mean it can't be good, it just means it's pop history.

"Hey let me compare a typical Mosque with Cologne Cathedral and use that one cathedral as example how stupid, lazy, and slow Europeans were at architecture compared to the glorious god-like Muslims"

But that's the point. What person with a pop history level interest would bother reading such a massive, in-depth trilogy as Foote's. Pop historians keep their works short and surface level for their audience, as the latter would lose interest after more than a few hundred pages. And just because he used to be a novelist doesn't mean that he can't become a legitimate historian.
Christopher Bennett
The highlight of that is not him BTFOING THE FEMINIST XDDDD PRAISE KEK but telling the brainlet that British and English aren't interchangeable

They don't you fucking faggot, they speed read on Sparknotes or watch Youtube videos summarizing them, and watch the movies in between Instagramming it to all their vapid followers.
If you ask a normie how they feel about the death of Denethor they won't be able to say shit. Most of them don't even know the real names of the superheroes they wear on their shirts.
Fucking try again, faggot
