The History Channel has re portedly refused to air a series of ads that claim the South had a legitimate right to secede from the Union 150 years ago.
The ads were produced and funded by the Georgia Sons of Confederate Veterans, and were intended to give the Southern point of view on the bloodiest war in American history -- but the cable channel contends the ads are "well beyond our guidelines."
The sesquicentennial of the Civil War is next year and apparently feelings still run deep in places around the country.
One line from ads says the war was fought to "repel" an invasion by federal troops.
Another says the cause of the war was that "Northern congressmen were able to vote themselves virtually anything they wanted, using Southern tax money, while the South was powerless to stop it."
It's only getting crazier.
Can you imagine what position an Antebellum FoxNews would have taken on these issues?
