Is it racist?

[Tdre977]

Bullshit, it is a part of our history! I don't see how it could be considered racist....I mean slavery wasn't the only reason the Confederacy succeeded from the Union. It was more so that they didn't want to be governed by people that didn't care about the South's interest. If the first and only thing that comes to mind about the Confederacy, is slavery, then there is something wrong.

Exactly how I feel as well. I personally love reading about history, particularly American Military history. But these days most peoples knowledge of historical events is limited to whatever crappy high school course they were told, and probably didn't want to hear anyway.
