One of the things that struck me most when watching this series of videos is how little of it I learned in school through public education. Many of the events (such as Japanese-American internment camps) I was aware of, but certainly did not know the extent. Other major things like the gasoline baths at the border, however, I had never even heard of. Unfortunately, given the history of the United States, none of the events actually SURPRISED me, but I am certainly glad to have scratched the surface on learning a little more.
