But it's not your opinions which worry me nearly so much as the mis-information on which they are based.

And, therein lies the problem of why the Civil War will always be a controversial topic. What you and others call "mis-information" is, in the south, fact.

And, what those of us in the south believe is misinformation, you believe is fact. And you think your facts trump mine and I think that my facts trump yours.

Which leaves us right back where we started.

DustyMoment: "What you and others call "mis-information" is, in the south, fact."

Sorry, but a famous American, a hero of mine, once said (and is often quoted):

"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."

That was John Adams, in 1770, defending British soldiers for the Boston massacre.
So facts are facts, and myths are, well, not necessarily.

That's the purpose of this thread.
