Sad as it is, Khuutra, History always has and always will change with the times.

Also, try understand that the history you KNOW and LEARNT - Thomas Jefferson's influence etc. - could also have been manipulated from the true state of affairs to suit the times and conditions when you learned it. I hate the fact that it happens, but there's not much to do about it.

I understand where you come from though, after all I was a history scholar in South Africa before and after the fall of the apartheid atrocities. I'm sure you can imagine the changes to history then!

Revisionist history is bullshit.

(hmm...perhaps Penn and Teller could do a show on it!)

Wasn't the revisonist history after the fall of the apartheid a good thing?

As a history scholar you should know that history is always changing... in actual reality, not just in the minds of men.
