Is the History Channel Really Going to Run Neo-Confederate Ads?

I never get a proper explanation when I ask why the confederates fired on Fort Sumter is they were merely defending themselves. I usually get some crap like oh Lincoln provoked it. I Think next time I encounter a neo-confed I am going to ask him to explain why 7 of the states from the confederacy seceded before Lincoln even officially became president. I see people whine about Sherman’s march but never a word from those same folks about Fort Pillow and the massacre of captured black American soldiers at that fort by NAthan Bedford Forrest and his guys.

Fort Pillow was much worse than anything Sherman did. Sherman destroyed property, Forrest used murder as a tool of policy. Forrest reminds me of Joshim Peiper of the Waffen SS in his murderous approach to war.
