Keeping the general population as uneducated as possible so that they really believe their country is the best and that they have a say in what happens in it. Rather than the truth -that large corporations run the show and that the average American has no voice what so ever. That way people like George W Bush bet elected.
American History - Republicans convincing red neck yahoos that the Republican party supports uneducated backwoods gun toting folk when in reality the leaders of the party are all well educated ivy league grads.

The History of the United States of America. Founded in 1776 by our Founding Fathers including and not limited to General George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton. George Washington wanted to be elected by the people and did not want to be King; he became the first president in 1789 followed by Adams (The only Founding Father who did not own slaves) and Jefferson (Penned the Declaration of Independence, buyer of the Louisiana Purchase.)
Between 1776 - 1860, more states in the West entered into the Union while the North and South became separated due to economy & slavery. After Abraham Lincoln was elected, the South became their own country: Confederate States of America with President Elect Jefferson Davis. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which freed the slaves. Civil War broke out at Fort Sumter, climaxed at Gettysburg and ended at the Alamo: 600,000 dead. The Union was preserved. Reconstruction followed.

One of the best films of all time. Definitely the best anti-racist film ever. This movie teaches no one is right and no one is wrong. A great movie.
Guy 1 - "American History X changed the way I think of other races and racism in general."
Guy 2 - "Shit, I better check that movie out."
Guy 1 - "Yeah, you should you fucking racist bitch."

A movie dedicated to the principle that racist curb-stomping is badong.
Sarah Palin (secretly taped by FBI): John, did you know there's a black man running against you for President? What are we going to do about that?
John McCain (secretly taped by FBI): Well, we could send some of our goons to curb-stomp him...
FBI Agent: Gov. Palin, Sen. McCain, you were caught on tape conspiring to curb-stomp Barack Obama!
John McCain: It's too bad the tape ended just at that moment. I was about to say, "...but that would be badong!"
Sarah Palin: It would?
John McCain: Shh! Uh, yes, officer... I realized that when I watched American History X! You think I want to get sent to prison and anally gang raped again like I was in Viet N-- I mean, anally gang-raped for my first time ever?

The act of being raped for being a race traitor. Referring to the shower scene in "American History X".
Guy 1: "Wow Todd totally got American History X'd in prison"
Guy 2: "Yeah, he shouldn't have been a race traitor"
really boring despite all the fanfare about how "developed" native American society were they really weren't anything special
a good example of native American history is the Aztecs and the Incas:
ohh look at the Aztecs and Incas they had a highly developed society....expect if they were in the old world they would be a foot note in history( look up Hitte empire or any tiny ass country in central Asia from 1450 A.D. to 1800s)
