US History

[5/9 Turtle]

I'm taking a high school course called U.S. History and Government  so I'm slowly learning and finding cool facts about American history

[#noided]

As a Canadian I know a little about US History. But now I need to write about the 1807 abolition of the slave trade in the US.

I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge on this topic to help me?

Hate to say it but most Americans don't know much about their history

So true.

Most Americans know things? But that would require a brain.
(No offense meant to anyone, but just so you know, I'm American. I'm just insanely disappointed with the collective that's supposedly my generation.)

What exactly makes this generation worse than any if the past few?

That's a whole nother topic/debate.

That's a whole nother topic/debate.

Shall we have it?

In its own topic? Don't see why not, as long as people are interested in talking about it, go for it! I'd be happy to weigh my opinions in when I'm not drugged up on cough medicine lol

But, off topics are cool too

From my perspective? A lot. Like Gorzo said, it's probably a whole other topic. For one thing, I didn't leave high school before seeing like 10+ different girls that got pregnant and had to drop out. But then, that's just off the top of my head. And I'm about to leave to go visit family, so there are other things on my mind. =P
