I’m from New Jersey.
Then you've got even less excuse for buying into the Old South mythology.
If I had a nickel for everybody who thinks they've discovered bold new truths about the Civil War when they're just repeating what Southerners told themselves a century ago, I'd be a rich man.
And a lot of people are getting rich off retreading the old rationalizations as new discoveries -- DiLorenzo, the Kennedy Brothers, etc.
They also get their nickels from people who learned the old Southern mythology in school a half century ago, who've convinced themselves that they were taught something very different and only recently discovered the "truth" that they were actually spoon-fed in grade school.
So then what does the "SC" stand for?
Wait a minute...don't answer that.
