Things that happened when I was alive generally stick.

But I got a bunch of the people wrong. In high school I had history taught by people who were hired to coach. The teaching assignment was an afterthought. Literally. So for 5 decades after high school, I avoided history like the plague.

I'm now taking history, but it's art history - so it doesn't give me much insight as to early American history.
