Actually what I meant was that people who forget their history are doomed to
repeat it.  Like, people get all fired up about Confederate Place or the
monument, and then wonder how someone like Trump (who they see as a racist)
wins the election.

Part of the problem in America today is that most school kids, if they are
taught much history at all, are taught that the civil war was all about
slavery and racism and nothing else.
