It's just meaningless bits of red meat chopped off to give the base something for a news cycle. Almost nothing ever comes of it, in the long run....

Good points. I'm not American so my history of that era is spread pretty thin. > it's possible the Overton Window may finally be shifting back leftward on race and history regarding the Civil War. I think that the 1965 Hart Cel
