This is a story that will continue. It is not AoE related, however, so don't hype yourselves up for that, lol.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James Ford laughed at the professor of US History 1 class. The man was purely idiotic! He said, "You must be joking!"
"No, Mr. Ford, why would I be?"
"Because the Confederate flags that you speak of: the battle flag and navy jack, were never, in the Civil War, flags of hatred and slavery. Until the 13th Amendment under the Stars and Stripes it was legal to own slaves, the Confederate Flags of which you speak held no such power. They were flags of battle and that was it. The Ku Klux Klan took the flag and used it wrongly. Those flags hold as much hatred in them as the flag of Vermont. Come on, now, if you're going to teach the Civil War, teach it correctly."
"Mr. Ford! I will not have such talk in my class! Leave!"
James smiled. "Excuse me? Do you like you job? Do you wish to keep it?"
The proffesor, an older caucasian gentlemen frowned, his face hot and red with anger. "Not with students like you!"
James grinned. "I love this part of everything. Firing bad US History teachers gives me pleasure. Mr. MacDonwald, your services are no longer needed at South Jersey University. If you show up on Friday you will be escorted off of the premises."
The man stormed out of the room and James went to the front of the classroom. "Well, now, we've all had a history lesson. Let's have another one." He paused and wrote on the board: "Four score and seven years ago." Then he turned to the class and asked, "Where was this historical speech penned?"
A female student raised her hand and was called on. "On a train on the way to Gettysburg."
"Incorrect, and I know all of you thought that. That's a common misnomer."
James Ford was the second in command of the Winfield Scott Hancock Memorial High School, or WSHMHS. He was part of a group of four students that took over the High School and set up a democratic junta, or military-in-power. Nobody seemed to notice the administrators absences and the government, under President Lawrence Shover, granted money to WSHMHS. James' commander, Thomas Bonacelli(pronounced Bone-a-chelli), was also enrolled at SJU, or South Jersey University.
Two months prior to that moment in the classroom with the US1 prof, New Jersey had split into two states: North Jersey(RJ) and South Jersey[(SJ)(It had been decided that North Jersey could not keep NJ as an abbreviation)] A week after that RJ troops had raided SJU and killed a few students. James and Thomas, permitted to be armed, took out the guards with the help of the Dean of Students: Kael Aidenn. They were brought up on charges and found not guilty of murder and misconduct. Aidenn was slapped with an illegal firearms fine that was rescinded after Thomas made some phone calls to the government.
James continued, "I am going to expose a lot of historical misnomers today, and I know all of you are going to be defensive of what you believe, so I hope that you question me and I'll help you to reason." He turned to the board and wrote: "The Revolution of 1775-1783." He turned outward. "We'll start here."
