If the Smithsonian Institution was more interested in promoting a patriotic version of U.S. history, would it put the Abolitionist Founding Fathers on display?

The Ones who kept all their slaves? Perhaps the ones that deliberately wrote slavery into the US Constitution? (Article IV, Section 2)

I don't think you are coping well with history that won't bend to what you wish it to be.

What is it with you two, anyways?

Are you incapable of separating anything away from the Civil War? Is it really that difficult? It should be utterly simple to say “the Civil War and all of that” (pointing in one direction) that’s over there.

“The Revolution and the Founders” (pointing in the opposite direction) that’s over here.

How come you aren’t capable of doing this?
