I would call the Civil War “basic US history.” I wouldn’t call the mason dixon line “basic US history” lmao.

Someone said this is not common knowledge because Texas isn't going to teach Maryland history... You mean this line that divided the southern slave states and the northern free states??? Y'all CANNOT be for real!

Ngl I had to search that up and even then it didn’t ring a bell as something that I learned in my schools curriculum. But idk why people act like it’s the end of the world if we don’t recall something we learned years ago from a class. Sure I still held on to bits and pieces of knowledge but not everything is gonna stick especially if it isn’t relevant to my current situation

I’m sorry but like if I’m out at a bar, I’m not exactly in a History Pop Quiz mindset. That part of my brain is off duty. It exists! But not in that moment.

This is not common knowledge. A history class in TX is not gunna teach anything about Maryland’s history.

Yall talking about Maryland, but not the civil war + critical chattel slavery element or the literal formation of states. Baby it’s the line that gives us north and south, BE SERIOUS WHY WOULD YOU NOT KNOW

I remember what it is, but I don’t remember lots of other shit I learned a long time ago. It’s human nature to forget things.

Ngl, they don’t go into depth with this in basic history. They do however go into depth with it if you took AP history. Will also add that, each state teaches things differently as well. Does it suck that not everyone knows? Maybe. Is it something we need to hold over ppls heads? Probably not..

A few years ago, I recommended the show "Chernobyl" and everyone asked, "What's it about?" 😒

You are correct. I teach history at a high school, we've gone far from any plots.

I played card against humanity with my cousin’s friends once. None of them knew what the holocaust was.
