The South to Receive a Proper Education . . . .

After conquering and humiliating the South, the North's next step was to re-educate the rising generations of Southern youth while herding the freedmen into the Republican Party to ensure political supremacy in the conquered region. The South's history had to be rewritten; "its history was tainted by slavery and must be abjured," and Southern children must learn to speak of "our Puritan fathers."

The South to Receive a Proper Education

"For ten years the South, already ruined by the loss of nearly $2 billion invested in its laborers, with its lands worthless, its cattle and stock gone, its houses burned, was turned over to the three millions of slaves, some of whom could still remember the taste of human flesh and the bulk of them hardly three generations removed from cannibalism. These half-savage blacks were armed.

Their passions were roused against their former masters by savage political leaders like Thaddeus Stevens [of Pennsylvania], who advocated the confiscation of all Southern lands for the benefit of the Negroes, and extermination, if need be, of the Southern white population; and like Charles Sumner [of Massachusetts], whose chief regret had been that his skin was not black."

Not only were the blacks armed, they were upheld and incited by garrisons of Northern soldiers; by Freedmen's Bureau officials, and by Northern ministers of the gospel, and at length they were given the ballot while their former masters were disarmed and, to a large extent, disenfranchised.

For ten years, ex-slaves, led by carpetbaggers and scalawags, continued the pillages of war, combing the South for anything left by the invading armies, levying taxes, selling empires of plantations under the auction hammer, dragooning the Southern population, and visiting upon them the ultimate humiliations.

After the South had been conquered by war and humiliated and impoverished with peace, there appeared still to remain something which made the South different – something intangible, incomprehensible, in the realm of the spirit.

That too must be invaded and destroyed; So there commenced a second war of conquest, the conquest of the Southern mind, calculated to remake every Southern opinion, to impose the Northern way of life and thought upon the South, write "error" across the pages of Southern history which were out of keeping with the Northern legend, and set the rising and unborn generations upon stools of everlasting repentance.

Francis Wayland, former president of Brown University, regarded the South as "the new missionary ground for the national school-teacher," and President Hill of Harvard looked forward to the task for the North "of spreading knowledge and culture over the regions that sat in darkness."

The older generations, the hardened campaigners under Lee and Jackson, were too tough-minded to re-educate. They must be ignored. The North must "treat them as Western farmers do the stumps in their clearings, work around them and let them rot out," but the rising and future generations were to receive a proper education in Northern tradition."

Today's kids in general aren't interested...too long ago. They are just as interested in horses and carriages and kerosene stoves.

There's lots of people like you who don't want kid's to be interested. 

The government schooling is to indoctrinate kids.  The Republican yankee government people have created their own schools to infiltrate the minds and to steal from pocketbooks of Americans.  We ought to call 'em tyrants - it's only right that we call 'em what they are. 

[Diane Amberg]

At least I can spell "kids'' correctly.

[redcliffsw]

It's good that you can spell kids however you're sold on socialism and that's the ruination of this country. 

The government schools are promoting the socialist movement - anybody ought to be able to see and understand that.  Government school lobbying against the citizens for more money says a lot about them.  Then there's those who want to give the schools more money by and thru "democracy".  "Democratic socialism".  Take, take and keep on taking more - it's never ending to the cause of socialism.

You don't want to wait and see what Trump does, since Kansas supported him?

[redcliffsw]

The schools want more money in Kansas - looks like a big issue here. 

Whether they get it or not, there's no way to improve government education.  Government education is made for indoctrination of its students that leans to the ways of socialism for more government control of our lives and America. 

American liberty does not count for much in this yankee Republican created government education system.  That's why they force citizens to pay to convey their socialist views of government to students.  They've been doing it since the Civil War.
