Started reading Morris’ book on the 1780s - it was written in the 1980s and really shows its age in only kinda-sorta treating non-white people as fully human when asking questions like “was this area actually inhabited” or “how many people weren’t Protestant”.
It does kind of ask some of those questions, but probably not in as much detail as a bunch of historians would ask today. I’m reading this for political history, but still.
