Is that the immortal scene of Washington accepting Cromwell's surrender at Little Round Top?

That's the war where we beat the Nazis at Pearl Harbor, right?

Shockingly it is real. Still up on the official Twitter account. The reader comments are pretty good.

I would bet the great majority of today's high schoolers, and their history teachers, would have no clue.

Must be real. Abe Lincoln took the photo and posted to his facebook when it happened.

Most people don't know who we fought, what century we fought, or what the conflict was about.

I guess they didn't call Rick's buddy, Mark Hall-Patton, administrator of the Clark County Museum, to verify the painting's authenticity.

I love my country, truly and deeply, and I know many in this forum feel the same way. I cannot imagine- cannot imagine- being so ignorant of its history, as the vast majority of its citizens today seem to be.
