I was just talking about what I was taught in junior high school (which tended to skip over that whole icky genocide thing--except, oddly enough, for the Trail of Tears, which was All Andrew Jackson's Fault. And, come to think of it, the conquistadors. We learned ALL ABOUT the conquistadors exterminating the Incas and Aztecs and Mayas), not about what I know now.
