Do Americans do history at school?

[Auld Phart]

Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering America because of the Doctrine of Discovery. Obviously he could not discover a place where there were already people living there. The Doctrine of Discovery gave him the power to kill anyone on any land if they were not Christian.

Obviously he could not discover a place where there were already people living there.

and, of course, everyone in Europe knew all about the USA, because it was in all of their history books. Vikings had shared that information with the King of Spain.

He made Europe aware of the lands there, and started permanent Colonization. Others like the Vikings may have found it first, but those didn't lead to the permanent opening of travel between the old world and the new world. Calling it discovering is simplistic, but accurate from the perception of those From Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The rest is revisionist blame whitey crap.

 

[San Souci]

Serious question, do Americans do history at school? Is it on your curriculum? Knowledge from Americans on world history is just so poor on forums, or do forums just attract the user that has little to no history knowledge?

If you do do history at school, what did you cover?

No. Instead they do CRT and Tranny Studies.

It’s not the least bit accurate.

Yes, it is. Before that Europe had no true documentation of the Americas. After Columbus they had an idea of some landmass, and subsequent explorers expanded on that knowledge.

It was not discovered. It was invaded.

It was discovered and exploited, like they were doing to each other for centuries before that.

Wrong

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The problem is that much of the history taught today in the US is taught by progs or Christian nationalists.

Not much of a retort there. Care to explain Mr. SJW revisionist?
