I'm not saying that this is how it is But, In all my years of school the one thing I've been taught Again and Again ... is the American Revolutionary war
Which makes sense since, it was technically the official formation of the country I currently live in
But really, In 10th grade I'm having deja-vu back to fourth grade when we even had a musical about it (I was student #2 by the way)
And now we have the Broadway musical Alexander Hamilton which, I am TOTALLY a fan of Despite the numerous reoccurring themes I've had stuck in my face enough to remember for the rest of my lifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ... Okaaay, So, Revolutionary War: ... ... ...

Okay, I don't know if you actually got anything from that but basically it was a rushed (sort of) summaryish of the American Revolutionary war ... ish.
Well, I mean I've only learned about it from one side
Anyway, by now I almost know the facts we learn in school here as well as the back of my hand ... which I don't know very well by the way why do people even use that?
Anyway, it's not completely old material that we're learning because now, there's analyzing too
Just today we analyzed the differences between Federalists and Anti-federalists ... Okay, you probably don't want the nitty-gritty details ... And that concludes my (Strange) tirade/(I can't really call it a tirade because it wasn't angry so maybe narration?) About history class ... Hope this quirky piece of writing gave you a few smiles!
(Or if not confusion works too.)
In all honesty I started this as a valid poem but my strange mood made it spiral seriously off track.
