Lets take the first question.
Who invented the cotton gin?
I remember studying about that in grade school.
If you look up cotton gin on the Internet (which is what a kid would do), Wikipedia will show you that it was Eli Whitney.
If you continue to read the article, you will read that the cotton gin caused the Civil War.
So, what has the child learned?
Baloney.
Teach the child to research and then question and think.
The Liberals consider themselves to be highly educated because they know Eli Whitney caused slavery.
I learned about Eli Whitney in the third grade and NOTHING at all was said about it "causing the Civil War"!
Wasn’t too long ago, can’t remember if it was Texas A&M, or maybe Vanderbilt, the liberal/progressive president of the school removed the cotton from the school emblem.
Protective tariffs???
