If I understand you correctly, I'm not sure how you arrived at this statement, but it cannot stand alone as an accurate definition of "truth".
Just because people agree on a set of "facts" doesn't mean a matter is true. The test of history can also be skewed. History is frequently "rewritten" to suit men's desire to promote a cause. In other words, politics.
Truth is absolute and not subject to the opinions of men. Truth is not bent by men's relationship, agreement or disagreement to it. As Christians we believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and as such is the bedrock of Truth. Man is fallen. As such there must be a standard apart from fallen man, and that standard is God's Word.
This is my definition of truth.
