What a load of bollocks. Northerners started rewriting history to make themselves look good at Sumpter.

By the way, the phrase is "in the interests of," not "in the interest to."

"Bollocks", you say? Now there is irony. Isn't it always the way, that when you try to correct someone, you make a mistake. Just when did the South begin rewriting history to spell "Sumter" the wrong way?

“Bollocks”, you say?”

Bollocks I say, and Bollocks it is.

“Just when did the South begin rewriting history to spell “Sumter” the wrong way?”

I made a rare typographical error, a slip of the finger. “In the interest to” is the same kind of error as seen on “The IT Crowd,” where one character uses the phrase “pedal stool” instead of pedestal, and another says “damp squid” instead of “damp squib.”

The distinction is not even a subtle one.
