When we learned about the Civil War in the second grade or so, I was very happy to learn that the North had won. I live in North Carolina, and obviously hadn't been paying attention, because I thought it was a battle between the Carolinas. I'm sure I did a good job of confusing my friends when I was gushing about how good we, the North, had done in the war.
