His Pulitzer Prize consensus history rather coolly looks at troubling politically incorrect issues in a neglected time in history, that others often fear to discuss and choose to make more irrational judgments than he. He need not change your moral judgments, just your outlook. An understanding we need more of in judging history. As the author died, it seems to be a compilation of notes that needs his editing, hence, sometimes confusing and repetitive. The last 1/3 of the book delves into the Colonial religious structure that is confusing without other background and doesn't seem relevant to the earlier parts of the book.
