Good morning - we don't erase history and rewrite it in a way that makes us something we are not.  Do we purge our history books, dismantle any and all memories of men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Madison, and so many others?  I think not.  We weigh and measure their roles in history in terms of what was taking place when they were alive.  Do we rid our history of men like FDR because he authorized internment camps?  What about the owners of the Union Pacific R.R. who restricted the activities of Chinese immigrants.  Or, what do we say to the haters of Irish immigrants, and those who had a strong disdain for Polish immigrants?  Our skin cannot be so thin that the mere discussion of the Civil War, or the causes of the war create new difficulties for us.  Abraham Lincoln wanted Robert E. Lee to lead the Army of the Potomac.  Was Lee a traitor when he managed the John Brown incident?  We should be proud that we are not Russians so quick to erase Stalin from their history.
