Making the Civil War about state rights and not about slavery is Southern revisionist history and an attempt to give the Confederacy a more honorable and respectable image, worthy of being proud of. |
And there is no posable way that it's be labeled about Slavery to make the north seem more honorable?
Here is a tid bit of information that some might find interesting. Many people think that before the 1600's, it was common knowledge that when Columbus sailed in 1492, everyone knew there was land there. It had been discovered well over 100 years prior. But the Spanish wanted Columbus to be the "founder of the new world", so they propagated that "truth", so for hundreds of years, we have been teaching in wrong.
We know the right answer today, but it would shock most people to know we knew the right answer 500 years ago too.. but people were effective at changing history.
So... as you say, believe what you will...
