That's the problem with cities, they're refuges for the weak, the fish that didn't evolve.
I don't want to google this - sounds like a thing that NSMB will be better at.

Says the guy who never been. The problem is that social studies is taught to varying degrees
and depending on which state you're in, or even what county you're in the interpretation
of current and historical events will vary. Even today there is no consensus on what is
actually happening and with history you get the view of the person(s) writing it.
Politics along with history while facts may be given the personal political/moral/ethical
and religious view will skew how those facts are interpreted.

The two parties in the USA have performed 180* turn arounds repeatedly in the last 100yrs.
Of course the last 30 have probably been the most drastic, polarized and lobby influenced.
Politics down south are a mess, but don't laugh too hard, in the last 20 yrs I've been
married to my Canadian wife I've seen a large swing towards the same partisan and lobby
driven politics here with a trend towards a more extreme stance and rhetoric.
