Its still the history, but its if people who want to celebrate one aspect of the history and also want to sanitise that history to make their celebration more palatable.

In the Southern States the aim was to subtract slavery from the "Cause" thus purifying the motives of those who sanctioned succession and later a war that actually destroyed all that was being fought for. This version of events was begun almost on the heels of Appomattox and subsequently prospered under the aegis of groups like the Southern Historical Society.
