Texas’ 5.4 million students will be taught that slavery played a “central role†in the Civil War, according to reports.
The Texas Board of Education voted Friday to make the change, which goes into effect beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, NPR reported.
Students were being taught that there were three causes for the Civil War: sectionalism, states’ rights and slavery.
The board’s Democrats favored listing slavery as the only cause.

@Elderberry
Of course they did. All all good Comrades everywhere knows,history is whatever the Party claims it to be.
It wasn't that long ago that some reporter asked a Russian health official at a medical conference about AIDS treatments in Russia,and was loftily informed ON CAMERA that "We have none because there are no AIDS patients in the Soviet Union"!
IIRC,homosexuality was illegal in the USSR,therefore there was none.

Let's not forget that slavery continued during this time in the North in spite of those misguided to believe it was the 'only' cause of the South's cessation.

I believe slavery was a/the major cause for secession.
I don't believe slavery was a/the major cause for the war.
Basically, I think both sides sucked.

I've said it before and I'll say it again......can we give Texas back to the Mexicans? Too many Commie Pinkos down there.

Oh good, you're going to start the trouble so I don't have to this time. Thanks, I'm kind of tired tonight.

An early instance of "it's okay when we do it?"
