Lighter: generally correct.

However, if you check the reviews & etc., you'll find that most serious historians of the Civil War - both North & South - have major problems with Foote's 3-volume popular novel military history - which, by the way, contains not a single footnote. Foote's almost worshipful admiration for Nathan Bedford Forrest- war criminal & founder of the Ku Klux Klan - is also worth noting.
