I gave her a copy of Kennedy and Kennedy's 'The South Was Right', and she was totally flabbergasted by it. Sadly, she's one of the few that have actually bothered to READ it; most people are too comfortable not thinking and not questioning what they've been told is 'the truth'. Even sadder, they can vote...and just did, for Obama.<br /><br />Deo Vindice!Hype And Failhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303538046088087655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-58550412113556262492012-11-25T18:27:36.520-05:002012-11-25T18:27:36.520-05:00I know on which side I stand

I attended a small private secondary school in north central NH in the late 60's and early70's and I had a wonderful history teacher that told us all history was written by men or women and because of that some bias intentional or not was often the rule and not the exception. In fact in some cases the result was that some history was just plain untrue. he encouraged his students to go to the source and look deep and hard at all sides of historical issues. This resulted in some enlightening discussions on the War between the States. that in and of itself is a misnomer for once the South Seceded they were by all rights a separate country made up of individual sovereign states. I guess the War of Northern Aggression rings much truer to the facts...Michael Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337073997302676770noreply@blogger.com
