As the Bouie article compellingly argues, your thread title should actually read: "Revisionist" History. Conservatives want nothing but the lily-white, god-ordained, we're always right view of history and liberals want nothing but nasty colonialism, exploitation, degraded, non-secular evils view of history. As usual, the most accurate view is in the middle.
That is because in today's political climate aided by cable news people are more worried about arguing and gaining talking points against the "enemy" than being accurate.

not saying it really applies in this situation, but let's be critical when evaluating any source
