I deliberately didn't spoil you for more than that, because I wanted you to be surprised! Imagine my surprise when I read black men fought on the coast of Coromandel, and red men scalped each other by the great lakes of North America quoted in another book. (That was actually what led me to decide I needed to read this essay, if only to marvel at it.)
WTF?
Well, it can't be the Duke of Cumberland's fault! He's an upstanding member of the English royal family. Or Charlie's! It's the mid-19th century, so we have to romanticize him like crazy.
Fritz. Definitely Fritz.
In short, this whole essay tells you much more about Macaulay than it does about Fritz.
