Of course. In large swaths of the country they're taught that he's a full on terrorist. Which to be fair isn't really entirely inaccurate, but certainly none of the nuance is there. That he was a horrible monster who was put down gloriously by their hero. That's certainly how it was when I was in school. I'll give you one guess what they said the Civil War was about the same time.
