^What are you studying in history? My college scared me off with American history, but they changed the course to the Russian revolution!
Man, I was pissed. But I didn't want to change my subjects anymore. |
American history.... origins of the civil war, which I think is actually quite interesting. I am also studying British political history around the time of Pitt and Peel, what really annoys me is that we have skirted around the Napoleonic Wars, which I would really like to study

Wait they actually tell you the origins of the Civil War?
In the US they basically shout slavery and then spend 3 weeks about how awesome Abe Lincoln was... and how brilliant grant was for coming up with the strategy "We have more men... so lets wear them out."
Vs the other two generals plans of.... "Lets train a bunch of troops. But not deploy them."

Well, we wouldn't have any bias, as we weren't directly involved.
But, man, you should hear our version of the British-American war.

Which one? The "revolutionary" one?
I kinda wonder what would of happened had you guys won that. 1776 for the SNES has a novel ending when you win as the british.
Black people would of been a lot better off that's for sure. Since the british abolished slavery in the colonies during the revolutionary was as an attempt to get more troops. Which is probably where Lincoln got the idea in the Civil War.
