You're missing out bud. We celebrate every year by binge-drinking, cooking raw meat, and blowing sh!t up. Its a helluva time.

Imagine the best post Cricket match party you've ever been to, then multiply that awesomness by eleventythousadrillionhundred.

No I seriously had no Idea. I have done History all the way through school and still do it now at A Level. But we have never learnt about it....

I have covered:

The Victorians
Fire of London
Romans
Egyptians
Peasants Revolt
Witch Craze
Who stole the Benin Head?
The industrial revolution
The Farming Revolution
WW1
WW2
Cold War
USA: A racial state? Cival rights movements
Britain and the Swinging sixties
Anti Semetism in Nazi Germany
British Politics 1880-1901

We don't even learn about Nam. they stopped teaching it over here last year so I never got to learn about it.

That's incredible. I just figured that would be something that would get transmitted through word of mouth pretty easily regardless of any biased government teaching standards.

I mean, hell, we learn about American internment camps where we kept Japaneses and other embarrassing crap.

Origins of 'Volunteers'
As the state's land grant university, Tennessee draws its nickname from the name most associated with the state.

Tennessee acquired the name "The Volunteer State" during the War of 1812. At the request of President James Madison, Gen. Andrew Jackson, who later became President himself, mustered 1,500 from his home state to fight at the Battle of New Orleans.

The name became even more prominent in the Mexican War when Gov. Aaron V. Brown issued a call for 2,800 men to battle Santa Ana and some 30,000 Tennesseans volunteered. Tennessee's color guard still wears dragoon uniforms of that era at all athletic events.

The term "Volunteer State," as noted through these two events, recognizes the long-standing tradition of Tennesseans to go above and beyond the call of duty when their country calls. The name "Volunteers" is often shortened to "Vols" in describing Tennessee's athletic teams.

we do some of the embarrassing crap. For instance, we did learn about the slave trade. I forgot to put that. That is pretty embarrassing.

Don't lulz it. I did 4 hours a week on that for a year. Thats what the course was called. Very interesting, but it made most of our class hold more against you... People know that I am more American than British (culture wise), so people still take the p*ss...
