We've often heard that history is written by the winners. This statement frequently comes after a lecture comparing the American Revolution with the War Between the States. Did you ever think how the war for our independence would have been chronicled if the colonies had lost? We'll admit here that had we been living at the time, we would almost certainly have been a Loyalist to the Crown.
Nothing is ever 100% black or white. Gray areas fill most of any nation's history, and a new group has formed to present what many feel is some much needed education on a still controversial era in our nation's history. From their press release:

Can you get your hood monogrammed to match the piping on the robe? Promoting racism under a "new" banner is nothing new.
