I feel like a huge number of people have completely forgotten about what they learned in high school history like the corrupt bargain, the guilded age, westward expansion or really any number of other absurd things that have happened in this country, or similar events that have happened in other countries. Those weren't just stories and they weren't just things that you needed to know for the test and then forget about, we teach them in high school for a reason.
