High school kids use to know this stuff and now CNN producers are completely clueless about it. Shocking that NOBODY at CNN caught the error.

Probably because MO was a Union state.

The distortion and lies about our history is so prevalent and pervasive in OUR schools!! They are OUR SCHOOLS (NOT THEIR SCHOOLS) for OUR children NOT THEIR CHILDREN. We want them taught about OUR sacrifices in the Civil war ( BOTH SIDES AND THE REAL REASON FOR THE WAR), WWI, WWII, KOREA, VIETNAM, ETC. WE WANT COMMUNIST CORE ( a/k/a “Common” core) Crushed into oblivion. We want the lies to STOP!!

MO was a border state but BEFORE the Civil War in 1858, Missouri was a slave state considered South. Also note that Maryland and Delaware which remained in the Union were also included in the South on that map because they were also slave states.

It was a border state and I bet Jessie James, Bloody Bill and co would have a problem with you saying that.

I have never seen a map like that - very weird. California and Oregon have disappeared. They don't show the Kansas and Nebraska territories that were, by the way, central to the Lincoln-Douglas debates. The Missouri error is especially egregious because it was from Missouri that the slave states were trying to pack Kansas with pro-slavers. Labelling the sections North and South instead of Free and Slave States is also weird in the context of the Debates.
More evidence the actual history of the United States hasn't been taught in American schools in a long time . . .
To: Timmy
Probably because MO was a Union state.Jackson was the Confederate governor of Missouri during the war, and Missouri had representatives seated in the Confederate congress.
The state was occupied by Unionist forces for much of the war, which put in place a puppet government.

The narrator in the video below makes clear that the map is concurrent
with the year 1858 at the time of the senate race in Illinois between
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas.

Seems like there’s always new things popping up in old history. A German officer captured at Normandy while the invasion was going on got a look down one of the American-assigned beaches covered in tanks, artillery, and transports was bewildered. “Where,” he asked, “are all the horses?”
Such was the state of the German army in occupied France.

American history takes a back seat, if it’s even on the bus, to common core, tranny bathrooms and a whole host of other nonsense. Mao it’s no wonder the children over at CNN don’t get it.
Why is anyone surprised by this?

What I said is indisputably true.
