There is a lot of despair out in the land today.  Getting groceries and basic supplies into the house is a major chore.  Some folks have been without essential paper products for a long time.  It seems like everyone has the Corona Virus blues.  But, there is something that you should know.

• Communism
• Escaping from Vietnam
• The Vietnam War
• The Korean War
• The Cold War
• World War 2
• Jim Crow Era
• The Dust Bowl
• The Great Depression

• World War 1
• The Spanish-America War
• European Imperialism
• Labor Riots
• The Irish Potato Famine
• The Indian Wars
• The Reconstruction
• The American Civil War
• Slavery
• The War of 1812
• The Napoleonic Wars
• The American Revolution
• The Jamestown Massacre
• Conquistadors
• The Spanish Inquisition
• The Bubonic Plague
• The Dark Ages
• Vikings
• Atilla the Hun
• Xerxes
