Whenever my mom says “Tell the truth you won’t be in trouble.” I would almost always end up telling the truth and i end up getting in trouble and she would talk to my dad and all kinds of things, what’s the most successful Lie in History?

    That the Confederacy was a noble cause. They say history is written by the victors; the American Civil War is a counterexample. Even today you still have people who fly the Stars and Bars and populate the KKK.

        " Oh yeah? Which rights were that? And which states’ rights? Did all states have these rights, or were only certain states able to express their rights?"

        It amuses me how often these people haven’t even read the articles of confederation or the sessession letters that specifically state that slavery was one of the main reasons they seceded or that they were actively trying to remove the rights of other states to not participate in slavery.
