    I don’t think most people have a very good grip on history.

    I feel like for the average American, history goes

    • dark ages
    • “Columbus discovered America”
    • us revolution
    • us civil war
    • WW2
    • 1950s
    • 9/11
    • today

    Given that level of knowledge, I wouldn’t expect much nuance or even accuracy from people.

    On the other hand, I just made this up. I bet there’s polls and stuff that tell us how much people actually know, but I bet those are super depressing.
