no "slavery"?

edit

it is worth noting that, @ this precise moment, the words "slave", "slavery", "slav-" -anything DO NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE in this article, at all.

kind if a big thing to omit, in an article about a civil war "historical" soiciety, no?

:p

(& no section about "controversies"?)

Flagging article as non-NPOV

edit

The presence of section titles such as "Battlefield preservation achievements" and "The Civil War Trust's grassroots activities", copious puffery and peacocking throughout the article text, and numerous links to the organization's own website used as citations (the textbook definition of "overreliance on primary sources") leads me to question this article's conformity to WP:NPOV. Heavy recent editing by new Wikipedian User:SaveOurHistory does nothing to allay those concerns, though this article already had issues with tone even before those edits. I'm flagging the article as problematic for all of the reasons discussed, and will place a WP:COI reminder template on SaveOurHistory's talk page on the off chance they are connected with the subject of this article. -- FeRD_NYC (talk) 02:54, 29 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
