Stupidity run amuck!
How about a source not written by some obvious whack job?
Remember "Uncle Tom's Cabin"? It was in reality a work of fiction. The author had never ventured south of northern Kentucky. So what did she base her extensive writing on?
We have VOLUMES of historical evidence of such from people who were THERE. Were you there? If not, kindly STFU
Were you?
Like so many things in our history, popular culture has enshrined beliefs that simply were not true.
For example,, how many typical Americans did not know that Franklin D. Roosevelt was confined to a wheel chair or wore braces on his legs due to polio?
How many people did not know that JFK was a hound dog and had many mistresses?
How many people knew that the Lusitania was in fact carrying war materials and thus was fair game for the Germans to sink?
How many people did not know that the USS Maine blowing up in Havana was caused by a coal dust explosion and not a Spanish mine?
How many people did not know the the Tonkin Gulf incident was a complete fabrication?
How many people believed that almost every slave in the south lived on large plantations and were regularly beaten and starved to death by their masters according to Uncle Tom's Cabin and Roots?
The answer to all of these questions is far too many!
