That's why that plaque should remain in it's place. What you've been taught and what you currently believe might not be the truth. What gives YOUR version of "Truth" the right to deny others their version of the truth? North Good, South Bad. That's not history. That's total propaganda.

Nonsense. The plaque is based on the idea that the South could not be wrong. It pledges its supporters to ignore, dismiss or vilify opposing opinions because it's unbearable that slavery could have been a cause of secession and civil war. Maybe C19fan's opinion -- in contrast to the Children of the Confederacy's -- is actually based on facts and evidence.

Okay, Let’s do it this way for a change. Tell me WHY did the north fight the Civil War?

Put it on a plaque and hang it up somewhere. Then, perhaps after reading conflicting plaques, folks who care enough would research the issue and learn the actual truth rather than an ill-informed one-sided version. Can't your view of things stand up to competition?

If King George III had put down the rebellion that very same plaque would exist except Confederate would be replaced with Colonist.
