The winners write history. Thats just how it works.

Well... that's how history works. But I think the thing in question here is truth, not history.

The truth is, President Washington et. al. declared independence from and rebelled against the British Crown.

The truth is, General Lee et. al. declared independence from and rebelled against the United States of America.

One emerged victorious, and one lost.

Is that not true?
