Wy is it important that this book is truth, not fiction? Why is it important that the editor didn't clean it up, either in terms of language or content?

I feel that it is important that the book is real (truth) rather than fiction, otherwise it could seem false unrealistic and over exaggerated, and when your discussing such an important and controvesial subject such as slavery it is important for all the facts and events to be presented in a real and believable way. I also feel its important that the editor did not clean up the book in terms of language and content, because slavery is a terrible thing and that's what the book is trying to show. So by cleaning up the language and content the book would have become less realistic and it wouldn't have adequately shown how horrible slavery is.
