Want to hear stuff straight out of a high school history book?

Some of us think that the new world order is destroying america, but we can all agree that everything is not as it seems- and it seems like the corruption starts with young kids.

Next to me, I have my copy of my American History book. I thought it would be a cool idea if, per request, you ask me what you think the history book will say- I'm interested to hear if people think some sort of 3rd party is coming into play, or if the goverment is brainwashing kids, or your opinons. So if you have anything you want me to look up, I'm game.

The Civil War, or info on the Federal Reserve. That would be interesting to see.

What state/part of the country are you from? I only ask because some books are different depending on the state.

I agree on the Civil War and events leading up to it, or the two World Wars. 9/11 if you're book is current enough.

I've only been out of high school two years, and I remember that the books were always god-awful.

Theres a lot of the civil war, any specifics?

As for the federal reserve:

Federal Reserve System: A national banking system, established in 1913 that controlls the U.S money supply and the availability of credit in the country.

____
The federal reserve banks could issue new paper currency in emergency situations, and member banks could used the new currency in emergency situations, and memeber banks could use the new currency to make loans to their customers. Federal reserve banks could transfer funds to members banks in trouble, saving the banks from closing and protecting customers' savings.

The Federal Reserve is a national banking system - alright - does it mention that it is privately owned?

Maine, and yeah, the book has an extensive chapter on 9/11. It makes me cringe, actually.

The War on Terrorism: How can the USA combat terrorism?



On the morning of September 11th, 2001 two airliners crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade center in New York City and a third smashed into a section of the pentagon near Washington D.C. A fourth airliner...
Nineteen Arab terrorists had hijacked planes and used them as missiles in an attempt to destroy predetermined targets.
The first three planes hit their targets. In the fourth plane, passengers fought the hijackers and the plane went down short of it's target.

Explosions and raging fire weakened the the twin towers. Within two hours after the attack, both skyscrapers had crumbled to the ground. One wing of the pentagon was extensively damaged. About 3,000 people were killed in the attacks. THey included all passengers in the 4 planes...The acts of Sept. 11 were the most destructive acts of terrorism in modern history,

Nowhere does it mention that at all.
(To bad I knew it anyway.)

This book teaches you that the Federal Reserve is the wallet of the banking industry? We're screwed! If that is the case why do we have private banks in the first place?

My god your book is politicized!

Oh wow! I haven't seen a history book in a long time, it used to be my best subject. And now they have 911 in them? That seems a little odd as most of the events on 911 have never been fully answered!

I wonder, does it teach that governments can carry out "false flag" terror attacks?
Does it teach to combat terrorism, is by loosing your civil rights?

What does it say concerning the cause of the American Civil War?

reply to post by Beinion

"The south, with its plantation economy, had come to rely on an enslaved labor force. The North, with its diversified industries, was less dependent on slavery. As the North industrailised, Northern opposition to slavery grew more intense. The controversy over slavery only worsened as new territories and states were admitted into the union. Supporters of slavery saw an opportunity to create more slave states, while opponents equally remained determined that slavery should not spread.

Wow. Okay, thanks.

*shakes his head and walks away*

reply to post by Beinion


I second that notion. WOW. Seriously. I don't really have any other comment on that one.

What does it say about Carter, the pushover President?

Something tells me your book will glorify him up but will neglect to mention:
* his buddy buddy relationship with the Godfather of Terrorism
* the long gas lines
* the 444 days of the American hostages in Iran.

The civil war wasn't even mainly about slavery. The south was for a more decentralized government with less taxes. Some where for slaves, others weren't. Wow.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

You're reply to Beinion was more of what I was asking for. Sorry I wasn't clearer about that in my original post. I should have known to have been a little more specific, since most American history books go all out on the Civil War.

As for what your book says, I'm not surprised. I remember the first time one of my history teachers in college flat out told everyone that the Civil War was not about slavery and how it only became a "moral" issue until later in the war. You could have heard a pin drop, that class became so quiet.

I would like to know who "discovered" america? Also i would like to see how they portray Andrew Jackson, the president.

reply to post by summerdreary


Ah, I see the history propaganda machine hasn't changed one bit about the American Civil WaR! That is just crazy to think with the internet and all nowadays, you would think they would tell the truth instead of still making it about slavery?

There was no huge Northern opposition to slavery before the war, unless one counts John Brown and it was the North who hung him and his buddies... He didn't have to many supporters neither... There was only Slave propaganda during the civil war and then much more afterwards, and that was used to grab control of the southern economy, as the south wanted to be a sovereign industrialized nation...

How does it describe General Sherman from the civil war, as a monster or hero?
