There is a difference between remembering history and historical revisionism. There is a movement to portray the civil war as the Lost Cause, a righteous battle that was heroically lost, and people are sensitive to comments that feed that goal. Huckabee is being disingenuous to pretend that these objections amount to attempts to erase history. They’re not. They’re precisely the opposite, an attempt to stop history of being revised to downplay the role of slavery in the South and the civil war.
