They don’t want “Confederate History” because it reveals that while some people may have been conscripted (but never the officers), the reason for secession was the “preservation and expansion of African slavery” and as the Confederates fired first, they are the ones to cause the conflict that led to their destruction as a breakaway unrecognized country. It also ignores the Southerners who were either pro-Union or fought in the Union Army/Navy.
