“The Civil War (I am assuming that when you said Civil War and then American Civil War as well, you were talking about the same war ) , WWI, WWII…I don’t agree with you. Usually that might be what we hear, but that is more our own faults than it is anything else. Or, if we are public schooled, maybe. Otherwise, there are all kinds of documents, books, letters, diaries, all kinds of stuff that give many sides to all those wars. I would consider that to be more a personal thing…maybe someone doesn’t want to take the time to learn about the Southern side of the Civil War, or what happened when the bombs fell in Japan in WWII.”

Lol, I didn’t even notice I did that twice…
At any rate, I think I can agree with that for the most part. I really wish there was less stigma on everything that isn’t “politically correct”. I want to see an education system that firstly teaches critical thinking/logic/debating skills, and secondly tells all sides of a given story, leaving it up to each individual to find the truth.

When I did that with, for example, the Civil War, my ultimate conclusion was that both the North and South were in err, and therefore someone should’ve started a new secession movement out west, learning from the mistakes of both former sides. This is exactly what I did with one of my hi-fi projects.
