AP History is a national curriculum - we have discussed it in detail in earlier threads.
I have used it as context as one of the items that has changed - I never implying that AP History was a state standard. I will note the U.S. AP History test no longer includes any questions about the details of the U.S. Civil War,
Now you go find me a single history course taught in K-12 classes in North Carolina where the curriculum discussed the Civil War in detail with dates, names, battles, etc.). At least a mention of Gettysburg and Lincoln's address there, eh? This seems like an important historical detail.
All of this was taught in my history classes in Long Island when I was in Jr. High School (now known as Middle School) and High School. All of our American history classes discussed the battles, generals (Grant, Sherman, Lee, etc.), dates, and politicians (Lincoln, Davis, etc.) involved in the Civil War. Can someone explain why all of this has been scrubbed from history classes across most of our nation.
