Your frustration is well founded. Someone yesterday said that these endless ACW threads were like the energizer bunny. They just keep going and going. And no matter how much the record of the day is posted, the same old people will try and skew the perception to cleanse the slave power.
"Face it. The South was right."
That is grotesque.
This is all important to the degree that perception of the past affects our actions in the future. I don't think we can afford to yield the ground to the racist neo-rebs.
Also, it betrays the memory of the brave Union soldiers, black and white, north and south, if we let the lies continue.
It always strikes me funny that the neo-rebs pine over the oh-so-honorable Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and the rest, but then will tell the most bold faced lies about what happened before and during the ACW.

"That is grotesque."
That IS grotesque!! Slavery is INDEFENSIBLE and has been since the beginning of time!! The South may have been Right about the Right to Secede, but slavery will always be a black mark against Suth'ron Heritage!!
IMHO, of course...MUD
