| Posted: | | | | As a general rule, most of the history you learn in school, especially pre-high-school is over-similified to the point of being a just-so story, especially when it comes to the founding of the US. This story is somewhat more credible than the one about George Washington and the cherry tree, but it's not something I'd call reliable. | | | Last edited: by Ace_of_Sevens |
