Американцы о Гражданской войне

[borislvin]

There is no consensus among the public about the primary cause of the Civil War, but more (48%) say that the war was mainly about states’ rights than say it was mainly about slavery (38%). Another 9% volunteer that it was about both equally.

Young people are more likely than older Americans to say that the war’s main cause was states’ rights – 60% of those younger than 30 express this view, the highest percentage of any age group. Those 65 and older are the only age group in which more say that slavery, rather than states’ rights, was the main cause of the Civil War (by 50% to 34%). While 48% of whites view states’ rights was the war’s main cause, so too do 39% of African Americans.

Означает ли такой перекос в возрастных группах, что историю начали преподносить по-другому в школах или в СМИ?

Не знаю.

Возможно, дело в появлении нового "СМИ" - интернета.

В интернtnt тоже надо приложить усилие, чтобы найти ревизионистские исторические материалы. Думаете, у молодежи достаточно интереса, чтобы копаться?

О, спасибо еще раз - за точки зрения.
