- I disagree
But before I get to the disagreement, let me say where I agree with you. :-) And that is with respect to those aspects of history that are less favorable to certain groups in society. I think we should cover all of history - good, bad, and ugly. On that, we agree. I just want to make sure that these aspects are covered FAIRLY - and not with some motive to grind an axe.
On your point that no one is indispensable, I STRONGLY disagree. First, I disagree in the sense that I consider EVERYONE to be indispensable in terms of God's overall plan. But even when focusing/discussing history in particular, I still disagree with you.
All you are doing is conjuring up some hypothetical speculations that others would be around to step into a gap. That may or may not be true. We can only speculate. We have to deal with what we have, though. And what we had in the RevWar was George Washington-- who was indispensable.
