    1. The Tulsa massacre has definitely been undersold in standard US history teaching. In fact, we tend to spend too little attention on the domestic side of the whole tumultuous period from 1917-25, in favor of focus on WWI, the League of Nations & the 14 Points.

        2. That's partly a relic of the WW2/Cold War focus on internationalism. Most grammar/high school histories of that period have previously given the 1918 influenza pandemic extremely cursory attention. I suspect that will not be true in coming decades.

        3. There is just a ton going on in that period - Palmer Raids & Wilson's repression & internment, the new Klan, Prohibition, women's suffrage, Harding restoring the economy, the first Red Scare, etc. Tulsa is one of a series of tentpole events of that 5-7 year stretch.

        This is a refreshing break from the current GOP effort to prevent teaching of our country's past transgressions.

        Almost nothing on Wall St bombing and other terrorism.

        Not enough time is spent on the Indian wars and the late 19th century stuff after the civil war either. I get it that you only have so much time in the school year and want to get to WW2 but there could be more time to flesh that stuff out.

        To say nothing of the 75 years of history post WW2.

        Thank you for this thread. So much of post revolutionary war American history focuses on foreign affairs to the exclusion of important national affairs. Affairs that can teach us so much about who we are and how we can change as a country due to the functioning of our democracy.

        Most of my US history teaching was: the founding, then all the things we’ve done wrong, then how war is bad (ww1 &2). I mean this fits in cat 2, but what do you replace? Slavery, Indians, war, capitalism, etc. any good history I learned on my own. School was almost worthless.

        It is funny. For all the “war is bad” in the curriculum, I (‘04 HS grad) never learned about The Vietnam War in school until college.
