Civil War was about slavery says Professor of History US Military Academy West Point

 

[Black Panther]

Our new government [the Confederate States of America] is founded upon exactly [this] idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery -- subordination to the superior race -- is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.

I think my favorite fukk you to Lee was how he killed a Union generals son in battle, so that general decided "Okay, fukk it, I'm making his house into the national UNION cemetery" and buried his boy in his back yard.

Facts. Most of them actually believe the alternative history they're been taught and regurgitate them fairytales as "true history". When they're revisionist history is challenged by facts they lose it.
