When the September 2019 issue of Civil War History released it immediately created a “twitterstorm” as historians reacted to Earl Hess’ article “The Internet and Civil War Studies,” at least certain parts of it. Hess’ article and several of the survey respondents were particularly negative against blogging. Respondents claimed that blogging took away from the real scholarship of the field and did not meet the standards of peer-reviewed books and articles. This negativity over blogs is partially in response to a challenge that I think everyone can agree on: the fact that anyone can post anything to the internet. Blogs, social media posts, and informational websites are problematic because it is easy to publish misinformation and much of the public do not have the skills to differentiate between scholarly work and incorrect information. This might be the biggest challenge to historians and the most negative impact of the internet on the field.
