Daniel Bonfiglio Published Yesterday in Funny

The Trail of Tears, Japanese internment camps, and House un-American Activities Committee are all conveniently glossed over in American text books and things are even more censored worldwide.

Fortunately we have these posts, (among other sources), to fill in the gaps and hit us with both the facts and the feelings behind some of history's most important revelations.

Here are 25 memes posts about history you won't find in the course syllabus.
