The problem with your list is it goes from data you NEVER use in your life, to data you use sometimes, to data you’ll use a whole lot for a period. Really, assuming you don’t teach the subject, when was the last time ANY piece of knowledge you had about the Revolutionary War had any impact a the real rubber meets the road SURVIVAL aspect of your life? Helped you put food on the table? Roof over your head? Change the baby’s diaper?

Sure it’s fine stuff to know, makes you smarter than liberals so you don’t vote for the kind of douchebag that’s why we had a revolution in the first place... But of course then the douche wins the election anyway, so even there it didn’t really impact your life.

Education - like travel or experience - broadens the mind. Some argue that if you stop learning and growing; you stop living.

I’m sorry, but someone who does not know which war came first fits the narrative of some dope smoking, mouth breathing, basement dweller waiting for the next welfare check while watching The View.

Why is there food on your table? Because you know where the grocery store is.

If you don’t know which war came first, then don’t worry. Chances are your Mom knows. Just like she knows where to buy your Mac and Cheese dinners.

(Not directing this at you personally, I know you are educated.)
