Also they don’t mention that it was rebuilt within a few years. I know about it due to growing up in the same state along with knowing about Native American history in Oklahoma. I wouldn’t expect people from different parts of the country to be aware. Similar to how I wouldn’t know about regional Oregon history
When I was a history and anthropology Prof my students would complain that I wouldn't know this or that fact. I had to explain that there was no way I'd know it all, but I definitely knew more than they did. I studied because I want to know more, not because I wanted to correct idiots.
Why do you hate yourself so much?
Dude, you show an interest in culture and history and they say that should be your major. Then they never give you a job outside of academia as a viable option. Then they act like they're doing you a favor for a shit job with little pay, because someday you might get their kind of money.
That's why I say Academia is a pyramid scheme.
I almost majored in poly sci with a history minor before I joined the military. Couldn’t imagine how shitty it would have been if I followed through with that useless scrap of paper.
