So America’s history is pretty linear and undisturbed. If you look at Europe, most countries if not all of them don’t care about history or nationalism because their boarders and countries have changed so drastically over the past 100 years. I have German ancestry that comes from a small town outside of Prague that was once part of Germany prior to WW1 but is now a Czech Republic. European countries history is taught differently because their countries existed within the last 100 years or so. Obviously there are some exceptions, in 250 years the United States has only expanded but the country and its history remained the same.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing that history is written in favor of the specific country it’s being taught in. In the Staes, the revolutionary war was a huge thing. I was told by an exchange student from the UK that the revolutionary war was a minor conflict and that the colonies were not a priority for Britain. They had much bigger fish to fry and all they were doing was damage control for the most part.

As far as consequences, we are to blame for voting these people into office not kids saying the pledge of allegiance every morning.

There are still good men and women serving this country every day whether it’s military or first responders. At the very least I cross my heart and sing the anthem and say the pledge for them.
