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.

Facts are what liberals choose to be facts.

Biden had some trouble in this regard, didn’t he?

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!!

[Publius]

That pubic skrewel education is showing.

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 . . .

[Repeal The 17th]

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.

[COBOL2Java]

Anyone who read “Tom Sawyer” or “Huckleberry Finn” would have known that!

Oh, wait...

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?

[Mechanicos]

It did not fit the Narrative the Rulers have been pushing for decades. See Lincoln conceded the dispute of slavery to the southern States prior to their session - so showing a Northern Slave State to the Lo-infos would have caused too many questions on the official narrative of the Civil war was over Slavery.

No, CNN is absolutely on target here. Afterall they are Clueless News Network. News always fits to their idea, not reality.

PJ old friend...the history of Missouri pre-civil war is used to be well-known to all Missouri HS students.

The only significant area of Missouri that held Union sympathies was St. Louis and environs. The rest of the state was, to varying degrees, slave-holding and sympathetic to the Confederacy. This fact, btw, explains why the St. Louis police force -- to this DAY -- is run by Jefferson City.

Missouri may be shown as a "union" state by one or another misbegotten news network, but as to simple fact, such a depiction is purest rubbish. Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware were slave states that did not secede, and that's the nuts of the situation.

FReegards, m'FRiend!

[SkyDancer]

That’s because the liberal idiots that work for CNN do not know anything about anything.

[sphinx]

That map is bad on two counts. Had it been labelled "Free States" and "Slave States," it would only have been wrong about Missouri. But it is labelled "North" and "South." That's a terminology that almost inherently looks ahead to the Civil War. And the fact is, FOUR slave states fought for the Union: Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware. History gets complicated.

There are many people pontificating today about the Civil War, Lincoln, slavery, and abolition -- from both ends of the political spectrum -- who don't realize that all the slave states didn't secede ... and that the confederacy would almost certainly have won its independence had they done so. Lincoln was doing a tap dance on abolition for very good reason.

Actual facts aren’t really important. What is really important is how you feel about the issue.

If you listen closely to the film at Mount Rushmore you will learn that our country was established for “life, liberty, and the pursuit of social justice.” Not kidding.

My brother also caught another misquote in their display area, but I forgot that one.

This is a National Park!
