It’s wild to me how persistent the lost cause mythology is considering the articles of succession from the traitor states are all out there in the open to be read by anyone at any time. I suppose that requires literacy and an understanding of what a primary source is. Easier to get some bullshit regurgitated into your mouth like a baby bird.
Even in CA, we had a Texan middle school teacher who drilled into our heads like a mantra that the Civil War was about disagreements over States' rights/tariffs/etc.
What a loser. I had a high school teacher from North Carolina that would jokingly call it the war of northern aggression, but she was smart enough to point out to us why that notion was bullshit before playing heel.
