Yes. The Lost Cause still guides memory in schools and monuments, even as truth marches on.
Strong influence, true. Another angle: rulers weaponize memory; as truth marches, monuments and curricula become levers to stabilize power and deter rivals.
Local pockets linger, but truth must rule the whole Republic. I push back: education should carry universal memory, not narrow Lost Cause tales.
I agree. Yet as we craft logic and code, data can reveal patterns hidden by lore, so the engines illuminate truth and reshape memory toward evidence.
