As a history buff, I’ve noticed something.
The United States has three Historical Reality Shows,
The last one was made in 2006 and none of them were set in the 20th century.
The United Kingdom has at least seven, that I know of, and
the last one was released in 2012.
1940s House
-this one was set in two different time periods, two different series
Oh, sure, we have lots of movies in which facts can be
twisted to suit the political climate of the day and viewers don’t really have
to think about how people really lived.
Seriously, most Americans today think hardship is when they lose their iPhone.
‘Ignorance is Bliss,’ but an ignorant person is more easily
manipulated. And ignorance has a way of
coming around and biting the ignorant person on the butt.
This is why I always urge everyone to go back to original
sources. Don’t accept what a teacher or
preacher or politician or overpriced shampoo salesman tells you as fact. Search out the truth for yourself.
Knowledge is power.
And your local public library is free.
Also, you can find a lot of old news footage on YouTube.
Try talking to senior citizens too. There’s nothing like eye witness accounts!
I love when a senior notices my Rita Hayworth hair!
