No "Civil War"
Today is Saturday, 2 September 2006.
There was no such thing as a “Civil War” in the United States from 1861 to 1865, according to a new Education Department policy announced by Presidential Press Secretary Tony Snow on Friday.
“Sure, there were increased levels of sectional and sectarian violence,” said Snow, “but they never rose to the intensity of a “civil war”. That’s a myth perpetrated by college history professors, who are overwhelming Democrat and liberal”.
Snow added, “The Southern sect members and their militias were mainly members of the Democrat Party, the so-called “Solid South”, and they lost their insurgency. Smells like sour grapes to me”.
The policy guidelines take immediate effect in all the nation’s schools.
