It had a lot of Civil War battlefield. In fact, the first major battle was in northern Virginia which is where I am. On the way to the movies or something, we go past some battlefields. This is where the Confederacy surrendered, lots of major battles here.

And they bombed London. To be honest, their history is actually quite interesting.

I hate London. So, I don't care. lol. Plus, that's in the past (which, again, is interesting. I like wars.) |

And Virginia was one of the 13 colonies in the 1700's.

"Almost" isn't enough.

Britain owned 1/3 of the World at one point. I think that's quite a milestone for such a small country. |

They only owned 1/3 of the world because they were greedy for power. And King George III was a jerk. But all of us fought in wars and ended up getting back our land, leaving Britain with a small island above France.

sorry it wasnt london it was whitehaven i really should fact check things before i say them from wikipedia on the raid "some of the party were therefore sent to raid a public house on the quayside, but the temptation to stop for a quick drink led to a further delay"
also that part about civil war's largest surrender was to finn |

Yup.

Yup. He was also quite very mad.
>But all of us fought in wars and ended up getting back our land,
We gave back some countries because the Second World War was very costly to us and we couldn't afford to keep these countries anymore.
>leaving Britain with a small island above France.
Hell of a history, though. |

@boeing
You probably do because I wasn't in Virginia in elementary school. Like I've said numerous times, the Virginia curriculum is screwed.
Elementary school: Focus only on Virginia's history
6th grade: World history like the 1400's - 1865
7th grade: World history 1865- 2012
8th grade: Civics
I don't know about high school. I moved to Virginia during summer vacation in 2010, after 5th grade was over. So I've only went through 6th and 7th grade when I was in Virginia.

Yeah, but what's the point of owning them? Can't build anything there. Nah. It's pointless! Instead, we decided to just have fun instead of racing to space. |
