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!

Let me clarify one more thing. What is being taught in Northern schools is historiography and not history. I believe that is what Leatherneck_Mt was referring to.

And before I have the northern contingent rushing to post a "so's your mother" argument, let me write that I realize that in southern schools, it is a southern historiography that is being taught in place of history.
