This period of recent American history is key to understanding many current events. I don't like that so much of modern education in the US merely focuses on presidents...it's these other less prominent figures that drove much of history. US History as a mere list of presidents is so minimalistic, and ensures easy propaganda toward the young.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882756840236416592noreply@blogger.com
