    The Civil War and World War Two feature so prominently in American media because they're the only two wars where the US was on the right side.

          Say rather that he's apolitical.

        Well yeah. In both examples, the US only ended up doing the right thing after trying every other option. And immediately returned to doing evil afterwards.

      The civil war was the only time in American history where communists held any prominent positions of power.

          Yep the American bourgeois were so scared of a handful of communist sympathizers and a foreign revolution that they did everything they could to remove all progressive elements from the political system. Shit’s sucked since. It also sucked before, but it definitely sucked after.
