American History

The History of the United States of America. Founded in 1776 by our Founding Fathers including and not limited to General George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton. George Washington wanted to be elected by the people and did not want to be King; he became the first president in 1789 followed by Adams (The only Founding Father who did not own slaves) and Jefferson (Penned the Declaration of Independence, buyer of the Louisiana Purchase.)

Between 1776 - 1860, more states in the West entered into the Union while the North and South became separated due to economy & slavery. After Abraham Lincoln was elected, the South became their own country: Confederate States of America with President Elect Jefferson Davis. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation which freed the slaves. Civil War broke out at Fort Sumter, climaxed at Gettysburg and ended at the Alamo: 600,000 dead. The Union was preserved. Reconstruction followed.

Following Events:
1914 - 1918 WW1
1920 - 1928 The Roaring 20's

Both participated in the Nuclear Arms race and the space race. Both put their troops/weapons near each other aiming them at each other. Ronald Reagan was able to resolve the War in 1988.

canadas history

The act of a man or several men getting hammered drunk on yukon jack dressed as moose. The men then take large swigs of maple syrup and spit it in eachothers assholes. The men all clench their anuses, holding the syrup in, for twelve minutes, then splash it all into the Stanley Cup trophy....men without Stanley Cup trophies generally use commemorative Canada mugs sold to tourists. They then drink the syrup out of the cup. Then they fuck. In the butt.

Art History

Art History is a class in which you learn to analyze art. You also learn the history behind said art. It is considered a fairly easy class to take in College. If you put forth an effort, you'll actually learn the basics of analyzing art though.

Most people do not take into consideration just how boring it can be.
You are looking up Art History on Urban Dictionary because you are trying to do an Art History paper and are bored out of your mind.
