When you assume everything that happened before you were born was basically like a Jane Austen novel, that's called "regency bias"

@joshmillard That's how the British deal with their history. Every country has their shames. Germany remembers theirs. Japan refuses to speak of theirs. America constructs a national mythology in which they are always the heroes. And Britain? We turn ours into sanitised period dramas.

@joshmillard my coworker adds:

So if everyone assumes you do civil war reenacting is that rebel bias?
