I was born and raised in a country that many remember as the USSR, I think you are familiar with the political system of this country and the direction of agitation, the attitude towards Western countries, including the United States. Much of US history has been omitted and the focus has been on the period of the slave system. The book on which, of course, Soviet schoolchildren wrote essays was Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. I remember how I was in the hospital, my mother brought me this thick book, as required reading, as required at school. But, fortunately, other novels were also available that opened the veil over the history of the United States by Jack London authors, novels by James Fenimore Cooper, O. Henry, I won’t talk about science fiction writers, which I read almost everyone and everything). Therefore, I am inclined to admit that there are still many blank spots in my knowledge of US history, despite the film The Patriot starring Mel Gibson, who did not want to tell anyone about a certain period of his life, or, about the period of the civil war, as I understand.
