"Like "1984." Those who control the past, control the future. Those who control the present, control the past. And they did this through revising history. Kind of the former Soviet Union?"

Right on. Revisionist work has always smelled of Communism to me. As a historian it makes me cringe. We need to teach all the facts in history, the good and the bad done by both our forefathers and our opponents with an emphasis on our common American culture of freedom and tolerance.

One of them was "founding fathers." I'm sure "forefathers" would be included.
