It has become rampant in about the last ten years, though, as a way to excuse behaviors. In Virginia, for instance, they are using a textbook written by a woman with no formal training in history.

Did slaves fight for the Confederacy? By Davon Gray Published: October 25, 2010 Joy Masoff wants you to believe the unthinkable. She wants you to believe that slaves fought on the side of the Confederacy during the Civil War. More importantly, she wants your fourth-grade children to believe it, as well.

Stephanie Nichole Davis - 10/24/2010 Wall Posting HK, It appears that in my state of Virginia is now the center of controversey in the media because the state wants our textbooks in public schools to give recongonzition to the black man for his sacrafice in the War of Northern Aggression.
