Shakedown,
I think you may be confused. The US Civil War is documented. It is an historical fact. The Holocaust is documented. It is an historical fact. There may be conjecture as to all the causes for each of the items you mentioned, but it is fact that both took place. There is no dispute.
The incidents that LuvJaBad related are not an historical fact. She has presented no documented proof that they happened. She did not witness these events, they did not occur to her. Her only "proof" that they happened is that she heard about them. In other words, they are hearsay, rumor and conjecture by definition. They are not facts as she has tried to claim. This is misleading. Maybe they happened or maybe they didnt happen. This is what separates a fact from a rumor. For a fact, there is no dispute.
Everyone deserves to know the truth. Misrepresenting something as a fact when it is not a fact is misleading and serves no purpose in educating anyone as to the truth in any situation.
