The process of changing the events of a story or history to make it appear more pleasant than reality at the expense of the cold hard truth.

Often to present an agenda in misleading facts to make some historical events or periods more attractive to modern audiences. Downplaying unethical choices made in the past.

Or seen in movies and TV, where producers ignore original source facts to construct a story of their own liking. For instance:
Turning as novel about both sides in a war committing atrocities to good guys vs bad guys, establishing a clear direction in narrative to influence audience bias.

I can't believe they are rose washing the story of Alexander Hamilton! They ignored his contributions to slavery!

doorwall

A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.

"Bob! John's gonna bring over them doorwalls from Wallsides on Tuesdee afternoon 'round two-thirty. Get 'er done!"
