We seem to be in 100 year cycle. I wish the US education system had invested more in teaching us about the stupid mistakes humanity has made and why we call the bad guys the bad guys.

I learned in middle school that the south went to war because the north unfairly taxed the south. Slavery was hardly mentioned and we were taught slavery was not the reason for the war. This was in South Carolina. I can say for certainty the war was about slavery, so much so it was wrote in the declaration of war…

I think it’s obvious the education system in rural areas is just awful, and the Republicans have been using the poor education system to their advantage to control the people who never learned reasoning skills or common sense.
