Geographical Reader for Dixie Children
Published December 8, 2005
Boys and girls, welcome to Dixie. Here’s your official handbook containing nuggets of wisdom about native Americans (and others) such as:
Q. Was it not wrong to drive them away and take their lands?
A. It was, and God will judge the white man for it.
Q. May not some of the wars we have had, have been such judgments?
A. Very likely.
An interesting read if only to see how glacially the American south moves. Most of these opinions are unchanged nowadays down here; they’re just rephrased. (Via MetaFilter)
