Was The Confederacy Racist?
This is a question that will stir up an entire hornet's nest of issues if you ask most people today.

The Union is hailed as having been a champion of equality and freedom. … Continue reading Was The Confederacy Racist?
An Appeal To Teach History Again
I grew up in a different world than most of my peers. You see, on any given day in my house, you would find my siblings and I playing make believe of some of the greatest heroes of American history.

The listing deck of the ship you're aboard is tilting from side to side with the swells of the waves, causing your seasickness to be a thousand times worse. A strangled scream catches your attention.
