So for me it is far in the past. But looking back I did wonder if we were ever going to get through it. Even if your teen is not acting out those years an be tough.I had a history teacher in seventh grade instill the love of history in me. He didn't teach dates he taught why things happened and really got into the life styles and the culture of the people living in that time. He was not boring.The thing about Custer that not so many people  know is that he had pissed off several of the other Commanders and because of that they may not have moved as quickly as they could have to help him. I audited an American History class back in 2004 for fun. The teacher just happened to be from Britain. And he brought up some interesting points of things from the British POV. Some of the younger students were absolutely outraged over this. They could not wrap their minds around the fact that in a war sometimes both sides are the good guys.</blockquote>
