Political correctness rears its ugly head . . .
Maybe like the Holocaust deniers, or the Obama birthers, we can now deny that the US Civil War ever happened.
Nobody's denying the Civil War ever happened. Some people do deny the root cause of it, though. The fact that Washington and Jefferson and any founding father who owned a few acres also owned slaves doesn't validate the actions of states who seceded from the Union 70 years later to try and carry on doing so.
