WWI was one war the US shouldn't have intervened in. Blame Wilson's ideological fanaticism on "spreading the goddess democracy" and his (and his state departments) slavish Anglophilia.

1877 is also the year that Crazy Horse died. There was also a widespread railroad strike that year.
Of course the conduct of the German government gave the Brits a lot of propaganda fodder (burning of the library at Louvain, etc.)...plus killing civilians both in occupied territories and on ocean liners.
Did you get all that information on a nostalgia birthday card because your birth year is 1877? Mine only lists the mutton-chops thing.

That’s sad, but when you have school systems that cover entire counties, that shouldn’t be a shock.
I had looked at applying for teaching jobs there a couple years back very briefly (history degree, btw...so I am not just jumping off saying their system is crazy compared to other states).
Too much bureaucracy in a massive school system like that.
