Trust me when I say the M-A war was covered in detail in all our schools. And one of my ancestors was one of the big generals of that war.

Was it Pershing? If so, I worship the ground that you stand on.
"My state" was Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky. Take your pick.
I was in three different elementary schools (no, it wasn't because of being a discipline problem. ha), all in different school systems, growing up. Different school systems have different years when they cover different subjects (I feel like I got a double (triple?) dose of some things, while missing some subjects altogether. That's possibly the case with the M-A for me. I feel like I missed a lot of grammar; I know that I missed out on Alabama history, Georgia history, and Kentucky history, just because of the way that things worked out).
Texas is next door to Mexico, and once was a part of Mexico. Could that not make a difference in the curriculum in the school system(s) that you were in???
