I went to US High School 2002-2006. US history was pretty much

>Columbus was bad ---> Revolution ---> killing indians ---> slavery ---> civil war ---> jim crow/segregation ---> imperialism ---> depression ---> Pearl harbor ---> internment ---> hiroshima ---> jim crow/segregation part 2 ---> CIA coups ---> civil rights ---> reagan was bad ---> bush is bad

Marxism

Plenty of lessons about the trail of tears and slavery and the civil rights movement. Also the Holocaust every year.

>>3147692
Same here minus Pearl harbor and internment.

What's even more egregious is how little European history we are taught. I knew practically nothing about anything prior to about 1750ish until I became interested due to Europa Universalis. Not even a basic understanding of how feudalism worked. A few meme lines about the magna carta and the British parliamentary system is all you hear. Speaking of the Magna Carta, I saw one of the originals recently and surprisingly it's in much better shape than the constitution, the Declaration of Independence or the bill or rights. What kind of retard was put in charge of protecting our founding documents?

>>3147479
You need to feel bad about colored people. Everything else is secondary.

What's even MORE egregious is how little Asian history we are taught. I practically nothing about the history of the country that makes my cartoons.
Oh and Africa.

holy shit, i thought "racist imperialist america" would teach a lot more racist and imperialist things at school. In Canada it's even worse, all we learn about are the natives, how europeans are bad, socialist quebecers were the good guys in the '60s. The only way to learn proper Canadian history is research

>>3148625
Did you learn about the Duplessis Orphans?

>>3147712
Well, when the Canadians burned down the White House in 1812 alot of the founding documents had to be moved, hid secretly and some of them got banged up.

We were still fighting off Apache raiders all the way until 1910. Our foreign policy was mostly isolationist except for the Spanish-American war and Mexico. Europeans knew we were headed towards being a major power, but being as isolated as we are geographically they didn't really care all that much.

Daily reminder the USA helped liberate Filipinos from Spain, betrayed them, and conquered Asia's first working republic.

>>3148732
Then we waterboarded them, a lot.

>>3148657
just did, thx for mentioning

You don't have to feel bad. Just give me the 40 acres and a mule you promised us, and we'll call it even.

1. almost no one who lived through any of that is still alive, things that are within living memory are considered more relevant
2. it's mostly boring
But you really should you know some stuff.

>>3147479
The gilded age is just a really boring period of history. Jim Crow in the south, machine politics in the north, and the occasional overthrowing of a Latin American government for cheaper bananas.

>>3147479
U.S. history is kind of boring, and I say that as an American. As long as the United States has a existed, it has been a unified polity with a stable government (except the civil war) and has faced no major threats that weren't separated by an ocean. That's means most of U.S. history is looking at social and economic trends, which is important but pretty dull.

There is a weird paradox where every Asian nation we defeat in war ends up suffering Stockholm syndrome and deepthroating our Big Stick cock.

You've only defeated two so far.

Not to mention occupied both for a long time and launched a shill campaign in your favour.

Thank God they didn't turn into Protestcucks.

Is Ken Burns the ultimate documentarykino?

They're definitely super comfy

I took APUSH from a based teacher so it was a mix of "fucking America is actually awesome at times" and "but we've fucked up a couple times in our history"

>>3151867
Same. Feels good growing up in a small town with more conservative teachers. Unfortunately he ended up gettting fired for banging a former student fresh off graduation lol
