Not sure where this post belongs, but the Gettysburg thread seems as good as any:
It occurs to me that over time, traditional opinions on certain Civil Wart subjects and people have changed - for example, Gettysburg is no longer considered the turning point of the war; the fall of Vicksburg is as important or more important. Also General Lee now comes in a for a fair amount of criticism regarding decisions at Gettysburg. And Longstreet is viewed more favorable by many - maybe as a result of "The Killer Angels"?
What other subjects or people have undergone a change in opinion over time? And what other ones may change moving forward?
