They also totally misinterpreted what Foote was trying to say, he said he was hoping the war could be avoided and slavery could be ended without blood.
Are you talking about the segment when Foote says something like 'the war happened because we didn't do what we're good at, which is compromise'? This seems to be one of the important complaints in the article. I'm sure that the interview segments that made it into the film were relatively short, and that the context would reveal what Foote really meant to say. What you're suggesting makes sense: "the war could be avoided and slavery could be ended without blood."
