In the early 1900s, Mildred Lewis Rutherford, along with the United Daughters of the Confederacy, began the process of re-writing the history of the Civil War and slavery itself! They then got THEIR VERSION of our history published in classroom textbooks!
Several generations were erroneously taught, from these school textbooks, that said slavery was NOT the cause of the Civil War but the cause was the fight for "states' rights." Ask your grandparents or even your parents, what caused the Civil War. You cannot get away from slavery being the cause of the Civil War.
What is your reaction to the article quoting Rutherford about the conditions of slaves? They “were the happiest set of people on the face of the globe, free from care or thought of food, clothes, home.”
Many grew up being taught that slavery was “the happiest time of the negroes’ existence. The slave was a member of the family, often a privileged member. He was the playmate, brother, exemplar, friend, and companion of the white man from cradle to grave.”
How did these beliefs and teachings lead to systemic racism and the widespread passage of the Jim Crow Laws?
