    Not surprising. I had some cousins in Florida who were taught in school that the south “technically” won the war. They never could quite explain it, but absolutely believed it.

      The South kinda did win in many ways. The North basically gave up on Reconstruction.

      Even today, our Union basically gives outsized political power to the South and former Slave states.

      Yes the one state known for its very respectable public education in the US. I do feel bad for the students who without their knowledge, are being indoctrinated into fascist beliefs without even knowing. Let’s talk about it. Let’s not frame it like genocide is ever acceptable. Let’s talk about how humans were tortured and killed out of curiosity and especially hate. Dehumanized animals subjected to things torturers would love to try themselves. To those people who want to keep doing it, you’re on the chopping block too
