Went through school in the Deep South, the state actually had us take a course focusing specifically on the civil war, think it replaced a semester of social studies and was separate from the standard curriculum. I forgot about it until now, but yeah, it was a pretty dry overview of that time period, a lot of battle dates and very specific details that I can’t recall now. Very point blank, “eeyup, we fucked up here, here, here, and here” kind of stuff. A bit surprising looking back at it now, considering how young and where I was at the time.
Weird to me you said it was “we fucked up”. I would think they’d distance themselves from the losers and consider themselves the winners." They fucked up, and now their territory is back ours and we live here!"
