[quote=@Crimmy] It's okay, no Australian remembers the Rum Rebellion. I mean it failed in the end, but nobody remembers it. [/quote] I doubt also that Filipinos to know about the Novales Revolt, a chance in the early 19th century for the Philippines to become independent. [quote=@Guess Who] You're mistaken. American schools don't even teach that much. I knew about the War of 1812 from a documentary on the History Channel (back when the History Channel was actually good) and when I asked a teacher about it, they're only reply was, "I don't even know anything about it. It's probably not important." [/quote] Eh I took APUSH in HS, comprehensive AF and I had good teachers. It just depends were in the US and/or the teacher. All of mine were exceptional. [quote=@Write] [@Prince of Seraphs] Canada forever holds that above their heads. 200 year's in the past be damned it was great. [/quote] Now I'm trying to think of something we Americans did to you Canadians... -- ...At the same time, being dual-nationalistic, I have minor resentment of the United States backstabbing my homeland on 1898 and making us into colony.
