For those of us who've had a good education, there is still a lot to learn, and, sadly, a lot to question and dig into for truth. And sometimes the historians didn't distort the truth; they left it out completely (e.g., the importance of women during the American Revolution, which I was never taught -- found out doing my own research -- and, btw, you can learn a lot from old newspapers -- I love to time-travel that way!).
