I grew up in the deep dark pines of Texas, but I had a good civics teacher. She taught us about this, and how Japan was trying to surrender before Nagazaki, and about Eugene Debs, and about the ERA.

Sadly that school district got rid of Civics, Home Ec, Metal Shop, Auto Shop and Programming Class during no child left behind.... Explains how we're getting the politicians we get so easily now.
