History
I do not believe what we are taught in class is “fake”, although I believe some may not entirely be true. Each side in a war would have a different opinion on the outcome; although one side loses, they may feel that the winning side were the evil bullies to instigate the war in the first place. However, these “bullies” may feel that the losing side deserved to taste defeat, as they might have felt like the losing side had started the war.
Down south, they are Civil War reenactments that depict the Confederate Army as the victor, which does not hold true to history textbooks. I believe that the textbooks are a suitable source for children learning in school, although an historian may find them to be biased or untruthful. In my opinion, the closer the source comes after the the event happens, the more believable it may be, depending on if Crazy Joe is telling his stories again. However, sometimes, the truth is lost to time, and only the lies are told on for generations.
