Which is “worse”?

And don’t say Lost Cause is a Nothingburger. I had a classmate in law school tell me on Election Night that The Civil War was simply a war of industrialization and economics and had absolutely nothing to do with politics, individual rights, or constitutional powers. He “mansplained” it to me because he said he was a history major from Oregon State and I only had 4 or 5 History classes from the Wyoming. It was incredibly stupid when someone intervened to break up the argument.

We should teach it to kids the same way we teach the "stabbed in the back" myth as a cause behind the rise of Hitler.  As a fraudulent, ahistorical myth that bad-faith actors used to whitewash their nefarious agendas.

People need to know what these myths are so they can recognize them. Anti-anti-racists like Ben Shapiro and active racists alike have nothing to lose by not restricting intellectual freedom and free speech accordingly.
