how is "rewrite history books to be less sympathetic towards nazis and confederate generals" erasing history exactly

What? Could you clarify where history books were doing this? Are you talking about history in general and not what was taught in class?

im saying that the ways history is taught informs the way history is thought of and can very much inform the development of people's politics. when evil men are humanized and not their victims it creates a sense of distance from the effects of their actions and enables shit like neo nazism and holocaust denial.
