    At a local community college I took an American history course and the professor taught the civil war as The War of Northern Aggression

      Try Katy, TX in the 90s -- I was once involved with someone who grew up there, and claimed to have lived on an anarchist commune during her brief stint in college, and one day she just starts dropping this matter-of-fact "war of northern aggression" / "not about slavery" / "states' rights" bullshit on me out of the blue, having apparently been taught all of it in either middle school or high school history.

      Houston-area suburbanites. Not even once.
