Other examples of such debates pertaining to different issues would be:
***
-The extent of advancement and size of populations in pre-Columbus America
-The intent of the constitution and founding fathers
-Whether or not President Jackson actually promoted democracy
-How we should see slavery as it fits into our understanding of broader US history
-The causes of the civil war
-Whether or not the frontier represented an ideal of individualism
-The motivations behind progressive reformers
-Causes of the great depression
-The radicalism of the New Deal
-The morality of dropping the atomic bomb
-Justification of the Vietnam War
***
So along those lines, what are the issues regarding radical movements and civil rights movements and counterculture etc. that historians are disagreeing about?

Hiya, C.W.! It depends (surprise!) on with whom I'm arguing... If I am becoming angry (usually with the PERSON -some people don't know the difference between opinion and fact) I will agree to disagree -whether they do, or not! and let it go. If it's with someone who knows HOW to argue... I hang in there 'til the last dog is hung. I LOVE to argue! If someone understands no world-shaking decisions will be made here today... it's a great time! *And-occasionally-... I LEARN something! - (who knew?!) heh }:>
