Anonymous, I see your point of view, and as you have said, “Many of the values they stood for are, from a modern perspective, flawed” this is the cause of many arguments today, we tend to judge our ancestors on today’s values rather than realize that some accepted practices of that day and time are not proper today.

Also we tend to forget that this war was not fought to preserve or eliminate slavery, a lot of people fought simply to defend their home, a man who owned no slaves and chose to fight to save his family and home, was no more flawed in his way of thinking for doing so than the one who fought with the intention of eliminating slavery if that intention was ever there.

I would like to see the family men on both sides mentioned in our history and the struggles they went through for what they believed more so than the propaganda thrown out by one sided history lessons in our schools.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this matter.

I found this website while attempting to understand both sides of this debate and I have to say you're not making a very convincing argument here. You ask "Why is our history distorted to the point that our children are not learning the Truth of our forefathers at school?" There is a simple answer for this. Many of the values they stood for are, from a modern perspective, flawed. Its the same reason that young German children are not taught to believe the ideology of their forefathers, or why we are no longer allowed to kill those who work on the Sabbath as the Bible dictates. The world has changed.

The truth is we need to educate our children in spite of what our government school system offers. Sad to say the history is always written by the victors and in this case our heritage is the one being left out, home schooling is an excellent idea we have to embrace, this way we can teach both sides of history and allow our youth to learn the truth.

All of the above is vivid evidence that the educat...

All of the above is vivid evidence that the education authorities have a policy that stipulates that Southern heritage and its historic symbols are to be disparaged and encouraged to be forgotten. We must begin to rebel against this system at all levels, and must withdraw our children from state schools and either home school or form alternative schools of some type that provide the education our children need.
