OP Brandon, surely you jest about the "War of Northern Aggression"
AnnaS, I'm afraid I don't jest (as far as I understand it). A friend of mine teaches in Cherokee County (just north of Atlanta and east, I think, of Marietta). As a member of the curriculum and accreditation board, she works on choosing and ordering textbooks for the district. According to her, the list of history textbooks is chosen based on the criterion of "Civil War" perspective, namely, the books' support of the Northern Aggression perspective. But, let me reiterate, I was not educated in Georgia and share this purely second-hand (but from whom I consider a reliable source). Anyone currently a resident of the Deep South who can ask a fourth-grader?
