You are not going to get a definitive answer on this question. This probably won't be answered for sure until Jesus comes back.

Both sides have good arguments for their positions. However, my view is that, for good or bad, the Confederacy is a part of this nation's history, and both sides of the issue probably should be taught so that there is an understanding of the situation. Then and only then will we be able to find closure for this issue.
