After living in Kentucky for 30 years, I’m still amazed that some folks have not gotten over losing the War Between the States, and will not let the memory die. For a lot of them, the Civil War never really ended.

I see the same kind of thing in China, which memorializes the Japanese occupation in the same way. There are young Chinese who hate the Japanese and Japan with the heat of a thousand suns, probably more than their great-grandparents did, because the government fosters this kind of “never forget-ism” to build a nationalist psyche.
