I'm originally from Mississippi. Most people who call it the war of Northern Aggression vehemently swear either the North fired first or that it's completely unknown who shot first.
History and much of education is taught with a different perspective in the there, within the scope of extreme conservatism and evangelical Christianity. Much of Mississippi's history in the US was heavily embellished in my history courses and I know many who had similar experiences.
