But presenting the “correct” version of history was only half the battle; the other half was preventing “incorrect” versions from ever infiltrating Southern schools. Before the Civil War, education was strictly a private and/or local affair. After the Civil War, it became a subject of federal interest. The first federal agency devoted to education was authorized by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1867, and Congress passed several laws in the 1870s aimed at establishing a national education system. White Southerners reacted to all this with a renewed determination to prevent outsiders from maligning the reputation of their gallant fighting men by writing textbooks especially for Southern students. One postwar author was none other than Alexander Stephens, former vice president of the Confederacy, whose portrayal of the war sounds remarkably like the version you hear from many Southerners and political conservatives today: it was a noble but doomed effort on the part of the South to preserve self-government against federal intrusion, and it had little to do with slavery. (This was the same Alexander Stephens who had proclaimed in 1861 that slavery was the “cornerstone” of Southern society and “the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution.”)
Wow....we are certainly seeing the fruits of that Southern "education" right here on these boards, aren't we?When I read this article, I can see the roots in what we are witnessing today. Must reading.

Uhhhhh.... yeah... now there's an un-biased source, right?
Oh, and this little gem...
"...the first federal agency devoted to education was authorized by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1867..."
Dumb-asses... Andrew Johnson was President in 1867, finishing-out Abraham Lincoln's second term.
So much for fact-checking.
And you are, of course.Salon is well known as an expert on Civil War history (sarcasm).
East side of the street, just above Paxton. I have never tried it. When I am on the west side, I will normally go up to Red Iguana on west North Temple. I will try it out. Thanks.The losers lost, and the losers refuse to admit they were wrong.
Sux to be losers, don't it?
Hey Jake. I was in Salt Lake recently and ate at a restaurant called Pacific Seas on Redwood around the corner from Sapp Brothers...it was fantastic.
