Hmmmmm....we didn't do American history at all. We did a lot on the English Revolution, but mostly either ancient history and Australian history.
But yeah, I am a history buff from way back, and if I do know anything about American History it's because I have picked up books and read about it.
But I have found world history interesting for my own enjoyment. Most people don't. If one asks me if I find American history in any way special or spectacular, I'd say no, even after visiting some of your battle parks.
Pretty ordinary stuff in my opinion. But I'm Australian, and I think our history is more colourful, as you believe that yours is.

Cassiesmom - they were actually in Rockford...my hometown. I was there during the standoff and Rockford is very proud to have provided refuge. So proud they have made an advertisment out of it...
Rockford Hideaway
I thought they were at the Chicago Hilton and Towers! I heard on talk radio that's where they were!
Two of my favorite Rockford things -- the Anderson Japanese Gardens, www.andersongardens.org and Cheap Trick, www.cheaptrick.com. I'll probably never visit Japan, but the Anderson Gardens are so beautiful and peaceful. I've been there twice- the second time it was a cloudy, damp day, but the garden was still beautiful. And Cheap Trick- well, I was in 9th grade when their live album from Japan was released. they were all over the radio and I've liked them ever since.
