Virginia Textbook Incident

How could you get your own states history wrong? You live in the state, you should know the history.  You should also know and have enough common sense to know that blacks didn't fight for the Confederate during the civil war.  The Confederates wanted slavery, why would slaves fight for slavery?  Some of them fought, yes, because they might've been forced to, but thousands took up arms? No.  Definately not. If you're going to write an article that is going to be used for educational purposes in schools, make sure you have your facts right.  Not all websites are going to be right, anyone can make one, and edit it. Like Wikipedia, people can go on the website and make new things, and edit things.  When researching facts, make sure that you check atleast two or more websites.
