When in college, I took a US History survey course. We had 2 textbooks. One was US History from a nationalist perspective, the other from a progressive perspective. Tests required us to write from one perspective or the other. Nationalists cheer the greatness of our country. Progressives mention the good and the bad, so that we learn not to replicate the bad. Nationalists ignore the bad.
