Do Americans actually learn any history beyond the 300~ years

>>133985439
No.

>>133985439
Most natives did not have written language so no history is accurately recorded

>>133985439
In all actuality, its mostly the 300~ and things such as ancient times. Americas education system is fucking sad desu.

>>133985439
>Do Americans actually learn
No.

>>133985439
Some of my ancestors have been here since the ice sheets melted.

Ha. So wrong. Besides Mayan and the Wari quipu and Aztec, Zapotec and mixtec, the North American petroglyphs are clearly a functional symbolic language. It wasn't all cute drawings of hunts and eclipses. Petroglyphs included 'good food next left at the fork in the path' and similar messaging.

Nope

>>133985439
All American students take a Western civ course at some point. How else would we be able to tell how much better we made the world??

>>133986668
Lots of good your bullshit language did you against invaders. Now your people are begging for scraps like Oliver Twist just like every other minority.

>>133985439
Yes but I had to do self study because fuck this shitty education system

>>133985439
not really no,
If you take ancient history in college they will teach you about greeks and romans and shit, but that's basically it.

the mentality in this country is that if it doesn't directly involve us it isn't worth learning.
that said, there are many burgers like myself who actually understand the value of history and try to learn what we can on our own

>>133986112
I'm speaking of their European history, not Native history, although that would be alright too.

Compare the two.

>>133988432
There's loads of British/Spanish/French/German history intertwined, that's almost all of America right there.

I'm surprised they don't teach you about all the wars, the age of chivalry, the Renaissance and all that crap.
Rome and Greece are basic stuff.

>>133988432
>the mentality in this country is that if it doesn't directly involve us it isn't worth learning.
That's true though. Why should I care about a bunch of pompus freedom-hating socialist euros?

They spend as much time covering the KANGZ of Africa as they do the medieval period or world wars.

>>133985439
Yes

The only thing about the native americans that i remember being taught was that they helped us become a country. That's about the entire premise of the lesson, if I remember correctly.

>Do muricans actually..
NO!
Muricans do actually not even once.

The earth is only 300 years old.

>>133989774
Depends on what courses you take in school. For instance everyone in my school in Virginia Beach, VA had to take world history unless you decided to take an advanced placement US history or European history course. I took European history and US history so we learned about the various events that shaped Europe as a whole and US history covered just before the revolution up to modern times

>>133991037
Actually it's only 241 years old.

Mrkans are only educated as much as needed to become a trigger happy cop.

>>133985439
zeus fucked many things he shouldn't have...

does that count ?

>>133985439
No. in America, they have mandatory US history. Here, the teacher reads out loud from a script, and students are supposed to write notes as exact quotes of what the teacher is saying; dictated history, much the essence of everything hitler hates about history as a subject. He wanted to learn students about cause and effect, not remembering exact dates or names of rulers. Oh well, American education is a meme. World history is an elective, though only Asians choose that. In us high schools, being more ignorant and clueless about anything historical or political makes you cooler. "Oh look how much he doesn't care, bet he looks forward to playing football Friday night, such a baddie"

>>133992750
And also, students in America must ask for a note to be eligible to walk the hallways during classes. High school teaches Americans to be good, unquestioning sheeples.

'Most natives did not have written language so no history is accurately recorded'

This is the respone i expected to see.
fucking amerians

At my school at least, we had a state history class in 6th grade, world geography in 7th (which was less world history more world cultures), US history in 8th, and in 9th to 12th grade you can take classes such as World History, or European History that does largely cover pre-American history.

>>133985439
we prioritize the most important pieces, so, yes, we touch upon the Greeks and the Romans and the dark ages, and we spend a bit more time on the Renaissance period, but of course the majority of our study is on the greatest chapter of mankind's history that is the Founding of this bastion of freedom that we call America and the subsequent domination of the newfound continent that marked the greatest pace of innovation and discovery anyone had lived through hurling us in a mere two centuries into this modern luxury civilization that we're all privileged to live in today.

Our American history class started with the history of England

Not so much sheep as factory workers. Our school system is set up to teach essentially the bare minimum to work in a factory (Bell to move between classes, eat, break, etc.), while our higher education has been ruined by jewish kikery making it a massive waste of money to study anything that isn't a guaranteed job, plus the liberal brainwashing in tons of courses.
I had open credits and took an education class last semester just to see if it was something that would interest me, we spent probably 3/4 of the semester talking about diversity in the school system.

>>133995886
this,
common core has only made it worse, the questions are setup to make you think outside the box, and then punish you for it.
>american education
is all about creating adults who can listen and follow orders, while never actually questioning the orders themselves

Growing up in my state at we were taught about a lot of ancient near east civilizations and later greece, rome, Egypt, The Holy Roman empire, Byzantine, Persia and all that only really branching out into Western European history in those periods through the lens of Roman settlements, conquests, and conflicts never delving too far into the politics of those regions. Mostly our European history is focused around 1400 to 1800 and the is focused heavily on colonization and exploration. Curriculums vary quite a bit from state to state and even between counties though.

The lower years of grade school focus on US history which includes British history, then by middle and high school you learn a lot more about world history. 6th grade my history focused entirely on the fertile crescent and onward, and all through middle school we went through early man to the industrial revolution. High school was some more in depth history classes on the US and it's allies and our wars, then a government class. Unfortunately most of the people you are talking to on here are underages or retards who never paid the slightest attention in class and got redpilled from a meme image.


Also most Americans have Germany ancestry not British so most of us don't give a flying fuck, except the retards that gush over the royal family.

>>133985439
We only have time to learn about WW2 and the Holocaust, every year, all year.

And we covered all of that before we're about 12. They do save bits like the Spanish inquisition and the French revolution for the older students. Mostly after about age 14, however, it's American government and history. Any Britbong stuff is hinted at when we read Shakespeare in English classes. Other than that, it's mostly math and sciences... the stuff that moves the world forward, not traps it in useless traditions of 300 years ago.

>>133997461
Don't forget women's' suffrage and the tiny paragraph in every chapter assuring readers that there was some obscure woman that did something important during this time frame.

History began on July 4, 1776. Everything else was a mistake.

>>133985439
We're taught whats called 'social studies' and its mostly about pre colonial spics and their stupid fucking corn

>>133986668
>Petroglyphs included 'good food next left at the fork in the path'
thats not a proper language

>>133985439
What makes you think we even learn the 300 years you speak of? All history I know, I have had to teach myself.

>>133985439
I learned about ancient history/antiquity, western civ, and to a lesser extent the east as well, but I went to private school.

>>133985439
No. Because nothing else matters
