This Freeper just finished a college level American History class. There is a tremendous amount of liberal bias in the course. Go Texas!

I have heard that what is disturbing people is that the revised Texas texts will be used nationwide for the next ten year. I don’t understand how that works, but I am not sure that people in other parts of the country would necessarily want their textbooks to reflect a Texas bias even if they are in general political agreement

Pat nails it. I heard a little blurb on ABC radio news reporting the Texas textbook revisions the other day, and boy was it a snotty little hit piece -- an attack blurb. Whoever the ABC newswriter was that day was clearly in a snit over it.

There are newspaper archives online going back to the 1840s. If you want to actually learn about the Civil War, then pick one Southern paper and one Norhern paper and read the account of each engagement in both. You can then filter out the bias and actually learn some history. The most interesting period is the 25 or 30 years after the Civil War. Al awful lot of revisionist stuff is stuffed in there.
