You can lead a yankee to the truth, but that doesn’t overcome years of public schooling and indoctrination of the terminally brain dead.

I have been quiet during this and watch reading because I am definitely one to have learned a lot from FREEPERS especially with regards to the South. Now are you saying that the Yankees have a worse education problem than the South? I think that you have crossed the line on that especially when you have Mississippi and Alabama the two worst education states in the Country. Oh and Arkansas is not much better...You really need to think before you write ridiculous statements.

No, I don't think that is what Leatherneck is saying at all. He can correct me, but he is saying that in the public school system in the north, the historiography of the Civil War has very little bearing on the history of the war.

I think you read offense where none was intended.

But I give you accolades... you fired back in such a way that it certainly puts all us Southerns in our place. LOL!

Nor does it entirely counteract generations of Southron myth.

Source, please. And I'm not talking about a source 25 years old either.
