Excellent

yee sounds like fun

Is California Southern? It forms part of the American southern border so seems like it is.

depends on your definition of southern i guess
generally dixie refers to the confederate states

no

the South (or Dixie) in the US tends to refer to the Southeast, the Southwest is a different area and the West Coast tends to be separate from the Southwest

No, it isn't. What is called "The South" in the US is roughly these states. It got the name before the US expanded that far west, which is why it doesn't include southwestern states. There are quite a few examples of this weird phenomenon in the US, for instance there's a university called "Northwestern" in Chicago despite the fact that Chicago is pretty much in the exact center of the country.

What happened to Arizona/New Mexico at the time?

>for instance there's a university called "Northwestern" in Chicago
Yeah and there's another university called Southwestern in Texas

during the Civil War those states would have had barely any people living in them. It would have been pretty easy for the CSA to send 200 troops there and say "lol this is ours now". It doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things though.

Why do wankees get so bumboozled when you bring up K/D

New Mexico is rightful Arkansan land

the Civil War was basically the equivalent of Nazi Germany invading Poland and almost getting its shit kicked in for the entire duration of World War II before eeking out a Pyrrhic victory in the last few months. The Union war effort should be a subject of embarrassment rather than pride in Yankonia.

Because reminding them that they suffered crushing defeats at the hands of a smaller and poorly equipped army and only barely managed to win the war due to having fuckloads of Irish draftees is blasphemy to them

Do Americans have specific history lessons at school about the state they're in or is it the same everywhere ?

Then Heaven be with us in the strife
Be with the Southern soldier
We'll drive the mercenary horde
Beyond our Southern border

i took an arkansan history class once but it wasn't a very good one

learned the rest on my own

every state has its own education system. The federal Department of Education doesn't really do much besides standardized tests. In history you typically spend a year or more on your state's history. Texas for instance does tons of state history, and they also pledge have a second, separate pledge of allegiance to the flag of Texas.

In Virginia I did a year of Virginia history in 5th(?) grade. It covered the Indian tribes which used to control territory here, first settlements by Europeans of Virginia, Virginia while part of the British Empire, the Revolution, and stopped at the end of the Civil War, after which we did general US history in the years afterwards.

Same thing over here. They technically teach kids Albertan history, but it's basically useless.
>Hey kids guess what
>Injuns put their babies in baskets before the huwite man came here
>did you know that kids
>Ok good lesson

*and they also have a second, separate pledge of allegiance to the flag of Texas.

oh yeah and while we were covering Jamestown in elementary school, we did a play in class where we literally re-enacted killing Indians and then starving to death due to lack of supplies from England.

I played Christopher Newport.

I'll place my knapsack on my back

I'll march away to the firing line
And kill that Yankee soldier
And kill that Yankee soldier

yeah we had georgia history

Probably learned more about Texas than I did the US honestly

Thanks lads
(You)s for the (You) God

Do you learn about the department you're in or is that folded into French history

last time i'm giving a frenchman a (you)

>we did a play in class where we literally re-enacted killing Indians and then starving to death due to lack of supplies from England
why would you do this to elementary kids

it was a different time

Most départements are recent things created during the Revolution (well it's recent compared to the global country history anyway) and were purely administrative matters even though some follow older borders.
So there's not much point here in learning about a specific departement, that'd be the equivalent of county history in the USA I'd say

Learning about our régions would make more sense since they follow a bit more faithfully ancient cultural borders but still, so much shit happened that we already can't cover everything important regarding France as a whole so I can't imagine starting to have regional history lessons on top of that.

It would barely scratch the surface, in comparison a US state has a much shorter history (that we clearly know about) whereas if you wanna start talking about say the Languedoc-Roussillon you could start 2000 years ago because we wuz Romans n sheit and keep finding stuff to study until today.
Not trying to meme like "lol the USA don't have history", but ours has been documented for a long time so there's just more to say

tl;dr: No we have neither département nor région history, but the history of France is enough entertwined with its regions that we hear a bit about them all

Also: I guess there is a bit of regional history when you take classes of the local language, I did a bit of Occitan and we used Occitania related history to learn the language
So it's probably the same with Alsatian, Corsican, Breton etc

>Not trying to meme like "lol the USA don't have history", but ours has been documented for a long time so there's just more to say
I understand lel

do people still speak the local dialects in any of the major cities or has it all been corrupted by godless P*risians

That's a HUGE bulge on Woody

Some are a bit more alive than others but frankly I don't think any of them are considered everyday languages anymore
None of them are in danger of being extinct of anything, there's a actually a kind of "revival" through (in my case) Occitan medias such as newspapers and TV programs, Occitan-only schools (for children mostly), many young bands like using it, etc
But it's not a mother tongue anymore, every speaker I've met had learned it several years after he was born.
Thank the 3rd Republic for that, although I sometimes think destruction of local language is the only thing that kept this country whole, when you take a closer look at it France is a real Frankenstein creature with very different cultures (once) all sewn together to pretend we're all French and have been forever
Anyway I'm drifting

>Anyway I'm drifting
it's fine, it's useful to get context for it

Well should you be interested I recommend "The discovery of France" by Graham Robb
Looks like a tourism book but it ain't, instead it shows how fragmented, superstitious, and un-French the country was even after the Revolution. How French was a minority language, how scientists got attacked in the countryside while trying to map France, how wild it still was, etc
Nowadays we do live in a united country, I mean sure pretty much every fucking citizen has his own opinion, there's a fuckton of political parties, people disagree all the time etc but most of us all feel French first and foremost and it would be a real shocked for many people to see what a mess it used to be, and how the transition was painful

thanks for that, recalled you'd mentioned that book but not the title

did a thread

Yeah I did, really liked this book, maybe because it came as a surprise as I wasn't expecting something this thorough

just ordered it tbqh
and that landscapes and memory book that someone else had mentioned
and a couple books of injun mythology

It's like associating a name with a face, it's not that hard.

>and that landscapes and memory book that someone else had mentioned

Aay that's me as well
Both books I ordered before I left for work in the Alps, but I finished the Discovery of France one before leaving
Post about it when you start it, I'm curious what you'll think about it

Someone with more skill and patience than I should make a Confederate apu of the same style.

I've already got the template from the one I just made. I could either try my hand at it or post the blank for someone else to give it a shot.
