History is changing because new ideas, and theories are being discovered. History never stays the same. Historians have agendas. As for the things that are now being taught, yes we are seeing more women's history, AA history, etc. I work with a professor who is currently doing a book on a slave revolt, a topic rarely looked at before. Futhermore, as a former history teacher I never taught that the South was the bad guys, but they had their own agenda, just as the North. Truth of the matter is the confederate flag has now been intertwined with slavery and what the south used to stand for. I'm not sure if you can seperate them anymore. Was it a war for states rights? Surely. Did slave play a part of that? Yes it did. Lets not forget Bleeding Kansas. Or how the South wanted to expand slavery into the West. That being said. I still want the flag on top of the G. Lee. 8)
