Oh, so you know all that history? And how much of that culture is still prevalent? And how much impact did it have on the rest of the world?
Those Mounds are barely 1000 years old.
Ireland has similar structures and they are about 4000 years older.
But who cares anyway, in the end the history of America is bound to the history of Europe because the majority are descendants of Europeans while the natives were suppressed and eradicated.
Tenochtitlan was the capital of an empire of 5 million people that only fell apart in 1521 because of disease brought by colonists. What are you going to do with the history of which Hapsburg married which cousin?
Because we’re literally talking about the native people’s of the Americas and their cultures, who happen to be not white and colonialism was spurred on in part due racism.
Hem and haw as much as you like but race and racism plays a large part in how and why contemporary America exists today.

Studying 5 years of primitive history? What are you going to do with it?

Jesus, shut the fuck up. We get it, you don’t think any culture other than your white European culture is worth studying.
Why are Americans so obsessed with race?
