A Wild Ride Through American History

You definitely forgot half of the random facts that make up American history. It is a wild ride

from Ponce de Leon hunting for the Fountain of Youth in Florida to flappers chopping their hair

off in the roaring twenties. We literally went from living in mud brick houses called

Soddies to landing on the moon in 1969. There are some crazy stats too, like how machine

guns caused ninety percent of battlefield deaths in World War One. And you have to

feel bad for Henry Clay, who lost the presidency three separate times. Looking back at

the timeline from the Civil War to the internet, it is honestly a miracle we made

it this far.
