1/Taking down Confederate statues is nice, but what's more important is changing the way we educate young Americans about the Civil War.
2/We need to teach all American kids the truth: The Civil War was over SLAVERY. Not states' rights. Not free trade. Not Northern aggression.

3/The U.S. didn't go to war to end slavery (at first), but the South went to war to preserve it. This is plain fact. Teach it.
-
4/Also, no teaching kids about how slaves actually good lives under slavery. Two teachers of mine spouted that B.S. No more of that.

I had a history PROFESSOR tell us it was over trade. As a young kid in the south it took me longer than it should to realize the bullshit

The truth is both north & south were racist, in differing ways. That didn't end & it's a struggle. More equality = More Integration.
