Thank you! Whenever I see new interactions of this meme, its annoying rather than entertaining now because it propagates the very same misperceptions about history that you debunk here.
Ultimately, the quintessential history of the US taught to the youth in the US (and reinforced in pop media for adults) is a fairy tale.
