And it showed me why it happened and how what happened after WW1 help set up this situation. People forget that history is our story and that it involved people very much like us in a lot of ways. But for some reason a lot of teachers have a hard time getting that across. I saw something like this a few months ago. There was talk about opening the Everglades up for drilling and putting rigs off our west coast. I was so infuriated that the rest of the country felt they had the right to have a say on this when the consequences of it would be mainly effecting us Floridians. It helped me have an appreciation for the southerns position pre civil war. People who were not going to be effected by a major change having a say in it. I can understand why it would upset people.</blockquote>
