Thanks to everyone for responding to my initial inquiry. I really appreciate it! It's interesting to learn about what people from other countries have been taught about "Americans" (not in the context of the original inhabitants, Native Americans, but from a socio-political standpoint of how USA came to be).
It's interesting to note that even "American History" that is taught to young "American" citizens is tanted and distorted. In addition, "world history" taught to "American" youth is also distorted in many respects.
I hope that if I ever become a teacher that I'll be sure to research events and issues before presenting it to my classes (of course, the challenge is dealing with a conservative federally dictated school systems that decides what and how things are taught in school).
========================================
Buh Bye!
Cheers,
Me
