I also have some dim memory of race riots in the post-WWI period being discussed, possibly in relation to Condoleezza Rice, or possibly in a work of fiction. Not exactly unknown but certainly nothing I learned in school. I think my history education was pretty typical, and kinda went straight from the Civil War to the Depression and WWII, with very little time spent on later 19th Century, and then skipping ahead again to the 1960s.Christopher Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396671757183163171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-83406353895441961622020-06-11T21:17:18.437-04:002020-06-11T21:17:18.437-04:00"Americans were still being taught that their..."Americans were still being taught that their country was a beacon of hope with noble principles in those days."<br /><br />I guess Biden must have slept through those classes.David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-4513774683416143862020-06-11T18:02:12.639-04:002020-06-11T18:02:12.639-04:00June 19th 2020 being a Friday, and the 17th being ...June 19th 2020 being a Friday, and the 17th being a Wednesday, would hardly enter into the considerations. Maybe he'll mention all those Union soldiers saluting the CSA as they lay down arms at Appomattox because they were all back to being Americans, there would be no treason trials or hereditary guilt, unlike in Ireland or lots of other palces on the planet.
