re: #79 SanFranciscoZionist

Uh, I teach Ancient Civ this year. I could check the eighth grade book later.

I thought you had the book with you. Nevermind.

I’ve heard that some books have started teaching that the Colonials had “food and clothes” at Concord & Lexington, which is just silly, because farmers didn’t store their food communally, and New Englanders didn’t have enough clothes to store it rather than wear it.

(Most Southerners didn’t, either, but I’ll bet Washington & Jefferson had excess clothing.)
