well i thought the original post sort of implied that the victor who writes history makes the losing side look bad. is there any example of that with the civil war? was the south really as bad as described in text books?

The textbooks aren't written to make the loser sound bad, the textbooks are unbiased and people just read the facts and usually reach the conclusion that the loser is bad, but when the winner is bad the textbooks don't change the facts to make them sound good ok.

No

I clearly learned that the Civil War was started over the issue of states' rights but the purpose was shifted by Lincoln onto the issue of slavery
