History is written by the people who win, and it colors everything they did as good, and everything the losers did as bad.

It's just another form of propaganda.

Um, no, sorry but objective facts are facts - what you're spewing is leftist relativism. Captain Semmes, the loser of the battle (and the war), wrote history. He admitted that his actions constituted piracy. That's not victor's justice, that's his own admission.
