I don't think they would focus on Italy if they have to deal with the whole world in just one year time.

"This is where the Confederacy surrendered, lots of major battles here"

so you have appomattox courthouse, durham station (largest surrender), irwinsville, citronelle, shreveport, doaksville and liverpool in virginia?

also lees surrender wasnt even second largest
kirby smith surrendered 10,000 more men in shreveport

Why did I say World history? I meant to say American history.




6th grade: American history 1400's - 1865

7th grade: American history 1865 - 2012

8th grade: Civics

@boeing



We never learned about the Red Scare. When we learned about the 1950's, it was mainly about and Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks and all these people trying to get Civil Rights in the 50's and 60's.

Yep. They just pick events that everyone already knows about and puts it in our curriculum.

whitewashing history means they remove all the bad parts of our history from the curriculum

its a very biased and improper way to teach history
you should read about the red scare
fascinating stuff

Yea. They take out all the bad parts and just replace them with stuff we already know. And then add a little extra to it.
