Particularly awful is the running sketch showing residents of West Virginia capturing and planning to hang Gen Grant and Union soldiers. That is so historically inaccurate, it's the most ridiculous part of the sketch. West Virginia only exists because those counties split from Virginia to remain in the Union. They raised troops to fight with the North against slavery and with Grant's army. Virginia, a secessionist State, refused to respect those counties decision to secede from Virginia and unsuccessfully tried to occupy the region. I get History of the World is a spoof, but completely getting the history back to front is unforgivable.
