Lost Cause of the South | Result: Status quo[edit]
Demote to gold[edit]
- The article is very well-written with lots of sources, and serves as a fairly definitive article on the topic around the web, from what I've seen. I updated the one improper citation, and it seems quite ready to demote to
a higher plane of existencecover story status! Sincerely, Postuhenin the neurodivergent doodlebug! (say hi! ^^) 05:55, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
Status quo[edit]
- There are several things this article is missing:
- The start of hostilities (i.e. why "The War of Northern Agression" is inaccurate)
- Claims about black confederates
- Why tariffs weren't the cause of the was (this is covered on the page for the American Civil War, but you can probably do it here
- The section on Reconstruction doesn't go deep enough
- And probably more. It's a good article but it's not comprehensive enough for gold right now. Plutocow (talk) 06:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- I just added a section on The War of Northern Aggression, but you're right more work on those issues is needed. Bongolian (talk) 07:21, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
