^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."

In the UK.... but it is mostly the North didn't like slavery, the south did, and that happened quite a lot... it basically seems inevitable. What I do find funny about American history is that we did have a short look at the founding of America, and by that point my school had been around 200 years, that's right, my school is older than America!!!! (not the buildings)

If you want to see what happened without the revolution, buy Empire Total War when it comes out in Feb. I have already planned how I am going to deal with the America situation (every soldier in the world!) but then again, you will have to win the 7 years war first.
