".... The Chinese people know OUR history better than we know THEIRS..."

Point in question ... the Taiping Rebellion, (War of Secession), 1850 - 1864. Twenty- thirty million casualties.
vs: The American Civil War, (War of Secession), 1861 - 1865. 620,000 - 700, 000 casualties.
Which of these were you taught was a "bloodbath", if you were educated in the West?

This was inspiration for a 7th grade geography lesson not to be forgotten. My teacher assigned me to research this event and make a class presentation, complete with maps, visual aids of a radio direction finder with to-from ambiguity, and a diorama of the crash site featuring a Revell B24 painted to resemble The Lady. The only B24 kits then were turret nose Js, and The Lady was a glass nose D, so I was forced to push the creativity envelope with wire and sheet plastic and an electric hot plate. Such fun, but it hurt to cut that beautiful model apart for the crash scene.
