Last time I visited Austin I went to the state capital and was pretty surprised to see how history was told on the monuments there. I don't remember the wording exactly, but there were references to the "war of northern aggression" and Confederate soldiers who died "protecting states rights". I wonder how this disconnect between how civil war history is told in school and how it's told in public spaces will play out in the long run.
