President Lincoln and the Sioux Indian uprising in Minnesota in 1862

[My Name Is Kate]

Are history textbooks still giving a lopsided rosy version of America's past and present conduct, or has that been reversed and is now lopsided the other way? God forbid that we have a balanced, truthful account.

I remember very little (about anything) of what was taught to me in school. It's probably just as well.

Who was the #1 superpower before America? And prior to that, who was it? What was their conduct like, in comparison to America's? I bet America is less of a bully than some have been, not that it makes it OK.
