I don't know about that. The way they're truying to recast the Civil War, we have to be vigilant against their attempts to spin. For example, we must watch carefully what the textbooks say about Reagan. I shudder to think.
OTOH, I believe that the current attempts to criminalize any mention of the confederacy has something to do with the fact that all of the civil war veterans, their children, and their children's children are now pretty much gone.
I read something in another thread that said in effect, (In the USSR) "the future is known, but the past is always in question." Or something like that.
In any case, it demonstrates the dimlibs' propensity to revise history. I have said for a long time that the main thing for which the dimlibs cannot forgive The Gipper is his single-handed vanquishing of the USSR, proving once again the folly of their twisted ambitions.
