Gee... which modern-day political party does this remind you more of? Hint: Not Democrats!

When you talk to conservatives here about the Civil War, the amount of historical revisionism is off the chain

Which makes sense, as they pretty much only seem interested in the Civil War to the extent they can somehow paint the modern-day Democratic Party as aligned with the Confederacy

That is compete and utter horseshit, as even a 6th-grade understanding of the Civil War would tell you

It’s a dark, interesting period of our country’s history with lessons for today

But no: it’s not the lessons they draw
