I agree all publications have cultural biases. However, if Mr. Woodard
is of
British Isles descent, then he by definition doesn't have cultural
biases on this
subject matter. Its about the settlement of North America by mostly the
English.
Though to be fair there are French, German, African, and First Nation
peoples
he discusses.
What particular biases does he show to which you object?
I am of British and German descent so I wouldn't necessarily recognize
those
biases.
