throwback to when I was in 5th grade and hyperfixated on the civil war and for some reason our elementary school library had a Lee biography that I checked out and also learned about stonewall Jackson and thought the Confederates had better generals and only lost because of the unions economic strength. Oh and also of course I learned at the time Lee only joined the CSA to protect his family or whatever.
Thankfully my dad wasn’t that type of Republican or I could have ended up quite the chud
my sibling is the type who reads shit like this in a book and then acts like it MUST be true just because it was in a book.
any time they start saying some shit like this and i refute it they go on about “their books” and im like dude i could write a fucking book and put anything in it. that doesnt make it more true than the other books that say the exact opposite

Yeah but do you consider it was a thick book with no pictures and also many sources (sources: the ramblings of a few random civil war reenactors)
Whatever is written in a book is right — such is still the mentality of culturally backward Chinese peasants.
It won’t do!
It won’t do!
You must investigate!
You must not talk nonsense!
