Question # 4
Before taking American history I knew nothing more than United States was always known as the “winner” and john smith was known as the “good guy”. Two weeks into the class is where things changed. I have been lied to. I have been taught with missing pieces of history. Younger students should not be lied to. If they are too young to understand John Smith was not a handsome and friendly guy than do not lie and teach the wrong things. United States should teach younger students the truth about history and not lies. For Example I have been in school for eleven years and did not know that United States lost a war. I have been lied to just to make our country look like a “winner”. Teaching younger students from the start about the true facts of history gives them a better view of things.
