My girlfriend was born and raised in California.. she should have her Canadian citizenship next year. She's always surprised at the way she learned things about American history. How they don't really ever tell you things that make America look bad. All that stuff gets whitewashed from the texts. Especially about American 'Manifest Destiny' even back then, taking land from Mexico and trying to take land from Canada. But we consistently beat you guys back and more. We were nice though, we gave most of it back.
