The case of the South against the North. [from New Orleans Picayune, December 30th, 1900.] by B. F. Grady.
A review by William Walker.
The importance of the study of history is universally recognized.
It is especially obvious when one's own country is concerned.
In practical acknowledgment of this fact, the history of the United States has been made a part of the curriculum of the common schools in the several States, which, together, constitute the Federal Union.
It is to be regretted, however, that so far as they deal with the political development of this country, the text-books placed in the hands of American boys and girls are not only superficial, but, in too many instances, incorrect and misleading.
This is not surprising, when it is remembered that school books are usually mere abridgements, and that so many of the larger works dealing professedly with the political history of the United States have been written from a sectional and partisan point of view.
