History has and will always be rewritten. Because it is a narrative using evidence to present ideas. Read a book
So 100 years from now they will teach that the Founding Fathers were bad men because they owned slaves? Or that they didn't even exist? I mean, what else could you POSSIBLY be referring to? My comment was in regard to the fact the Founding Fathers owned slaves, which clearly makes them monsters that should not be celebrated according to some today. So are you suggesting that history will be rewritten without the FFs, because they do not fit the narrative? Or that they were men who did nothing but horrible things because they owned slaves?
You can't change the fact that George Washington owned slaves, so are we going to label him a monster and erase him from American History?
So what exactly is rewritten all the time?
These idiots want to erase any sign of slavery or slave owners from society, as if removing monuments changes the fact that it occurred, or that there are people alive that still cling to what those men fought and died for.
