How to Win at History

Dad: "So you see, the terrible, inhumane conditions at the Andersonville Prison are proof of how bad the North was in the Civil War.  The Union didn't even treat Southerners like people!  They abused and starved them all in the prison, and those poor Confederate prisoners had to resort to cannibalism to stay alive.  Do you see how bad the North was now, son?"

Me: "Dad, Andersonville was a Confederate prison.  It's in Georgia."

See?  All those years of school were worth it!
