Fair warning: I can be verbose.
In the years right after WWII, people in the US saw themselves as 'the best' because of their part in winning the war, but also because we did it with our very smart people. Our complacency was shattered by the Soviet detonation of an atomic bomb.

This will be an experiment. I have no idea what I am doing but I'm going to try to make educational threads on this account. Something that really bugged me this year was the lack of knowledge about civics/US History. Some people think the Declaration and the Constitution are the same thing.

I'm going to use this account to teach history. I'm unsure how this word limit will impact how I do things. I'm inspired/horrified by posts that show that Americans don't understand that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are different things. So I'm starting there.
