Well then that has to be true then. Much as Black Confederates are dismissed because of missives from Richmond, this is just another case of ignoring the facts and making those that yankees accept fit to put the north into a good light.

My co-worker said he just kept putting up facts and his questions were left unanswered because they couldn't be answered without admitting the truth
