Those nukes were justified from our perspective, they saved American lives, wich was our primary goal. We also wanted to demonstrate to Russia that we had "it" and they didn't, wich was a secondary goal.
Also, the south wasn't a "backwater full of uneducated racists" that's more elitist BS. Still, it does proove my point that winners write the history books and looser's become the backwater uneducated racists in those histroy books.
Yes, the South was pretty much ruined like Japan was. Several southern cities were bombed out shells. ( yes, the north shelled cities) Reconstruction was a 30 year nightmare afterward, where the North "re educated" the south.

So you have met all those who teach history in the U.S.? When did we meet and discuss this? Date and time please. I taught history in the 1990's, so cite your evidence. Not all teachers teach with the same perspective or even the same textbooks.
I did not say that the south was a backwater full of uneducated racists. I said only where that is the case is such biased and offensive versions of history presented. And I know of a district in Ohio, as well as in Mississippi where this was the case (and probably still is). I sat through the distortion personally, and was punished in one case for questioning the teacher's personal version of history.
