‘Is this the way American History is being taught these days?’
Yep, it is.
Keep in mind there is a huge percentage of teachers that are ‘liberal’ and then remember one of the basic tenets of liberalism is America can’t win a war.
So, they feel the need to explain away any ‘win’ you might bring up. WWI, WW2, Gulf War, etc.
Its always the same.
Its telling that in 1960, they would have either supported the South, or if ‘up north’ they’d have supported McClellan in 1864’s general election against Lincoln.
“Its telling that in 1960, they would have either supported the South..”
In 1960 I supported the South. It was the centennial of the Civil War and everybody watched “Gone With The Wind”. The guys in the fraternities dressed in grey (complete with sword and hat) and the gals in sororities wore long wide dresses and twirled parasols. It was fashionable to immitate Clark Gable.
How do I know? I was one of those dumb engineering students who had to pound the books and did not have time to cherchez la femme.
Oh, how time flies, but frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.
