In junior year, brand new at the nice newly built charter school that had the first day start at 11am because the building crew was literally still there putting in last minute stuff, and a lot of it still didn't work until they finished finished over the next weekend. That one had a blurb about how some states called it War of Northern Aggression.

Sophomore year, though, that was the actual title of the section, and I don't remember how old the books at that school were because the only thing I remember from that year other than course material is hearing a teacher say, obviously in earshot of students since I heard it, that no one was gonna bother to fix the fire alarm because the district zoning made our school "the ethnic dumping ground" (exact words)

You know that actually fits in pretty well. Your time in high school was my time in elementary school.

Your books went from a section titled "The War of Northern Aggression" to a mention in the text.

It was never in my books and only mentioned. By the time I got to high school it was not mentioned anymore
