We're talking about "historical facts" of which the exclusion or inclusion of certain details and standpoints can make a helluva difference.

You're right about "historical" facts. "Winners" and "losers" usually have different interpretations about actual events. I do accept actual facts to be true, no matter what the outcome is, if I have did enough cross-referencing. But since history concerns past events, no reenactment can change what happened.

Actually, I think that this country is more of a melting pot than some would like to believe. I mean, I love Chinese and Italian food, Canadian whiskey, and a lot of my clothes are made in Taiwan. Now, it's not like everyone likes each other or anything all sugary, but Americans are influenced by many different cultures. It's not neccesarily a social melting pot but American society does not occur in a vaccum.
