Explanation - I changed back the article to an older version because somebody who edited it named changed a lot of stuff but didn't seem to know what he was doing or writing about. For example they changed a quote that is at the link to something else that doesn't appear anywear on the internet but then gave a link that shows the old version of the quote he took out. [1] Some other guy also deleted important stuff about Franklin Blair being friends with Lyons and getting Lincoln to support him. All in all it just seemed better to go back to before all those edits as a new starting place. Maybe somebody can glean some good stuff out of them but what I saw typically worsened the article like the examples I gave.
He also deleted a whole bunch of sources in the "evidence" section for no aparant reason. I'm not sure what this guy was thinking but he probably shouldn't edit this article anymore cause he didn't do much productive for it and worsened parts even though he changed it all over the place.
[edit] Neutrality
This article contains some very useful information. Unfortunately, the tone is far from neutral. For example it includes inaccurate and heavily biased descriptors such as "St. Louis Massacre." It is also fails to provide a complete picture of events, instead providing the contemporary secessionist views.
The reference sections seems to have been inadvertently deleted in earlier edit wars. This needs to be resurrected. Red Harvest (talk) 18:44, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Be caustious with Quotations from Moore's Confederate Military History as it is not even handed and contains a number of errors. Red Harvest (talk) 20:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
