Gettysburg Revisited
Like the South’s Lost Cause, so is Donald Trump’s attempt at history. Civil war buff, his assessment of Gettysburg is one for the books. Just not American History books. Even as an 8-year-old who, unlike Trump’s claims, really did

How A White Supremacist Integrated the U.S. Military
If Alabama’s Senator Tommy Tuberville had his way, today’s army would have you trading in your combat helmet for a white hood. Yet it was another former Southerner with an abiding belief in white supremacy, who was responsible for integrating
