In a tweet which has been liked more than 5,600 times, Patricia A Valenti-R said of Donald Trumps
Independence Day address: 'The history lesson was superb since most young people today have no clue about our real history.'
Damn straight young people don't, not one of them could have told you before Trump spoke that Revolutionary Army soldiers 'took over airports' in 1775.
They just don't teach this sort of thing in American school's but there should be pride in America that due to the American soldiers and their bravery, there was not a single British aircraft in the skies above America during until the 20th Century.
History books show that by the end of the war, not a single airport on the continent of North America was under British control which was strategically important during the Revolution.
You have to ask just why have historians have been ignoring all this for centuries?
