Hmmm...I just LOVE the way our educational system teaches students that EVERY
white Southerner owned at LEAST ten slaves (the definition of a "slaveholding
plantation") and fought the Civil War SOLELY so the government wouldn't take
them away. That's MY philosophy: If a subject is confusing and has many
different aspects, SIMPLIFY IT down to a single theme that ANY moron can
understand and forget the rest. Looks like it's working well!
Look away, look away. . .
