To ignore slave owner and slavery apologists we'd have to get rid of all abrahamic religious holidays leaving... Juneteenth, Labor Day, MLK Day, and Veterans Day. Those are fine holidays- but not exactly the most festive/family fun.

I think the British(under Churchill) made starvation of hundreds of thousands of colonial subjects was horrible, those same people can still be celebrated for fighting Hitler though.

The Vietnam war was unjustified(blame French colonialism too though), but American soldiers were tortured- see Stockdale

What state portrays US history as utopian in the past 20 years? I grew up in Kentucky and definitely got a lot of stuff about slavery, Native American betrayals and murders, civil rights, Mexican American war, Hawaiian colonization, the only reason they didn't cover the Vietnam war or Filipino is because they ran out of time from assigning pointless art projects.

Edit: Other stuff that was covered, bonus army, workers rights and child abuses

Because people can do good things and horrible things in their life. Essentially no one is universally evil in everything they do.

That sounds like a joke from the doctor that the patient missed

If your intention is to scare people who didn't sign up for it iirc that is assault.

"can't stop won't stop" is definitely the most out of place.

And "campground" is too many syllables. If someone actually said that they'd replace it with something else

Only if it's ironic
