I think the biggest one would be inadequately portraying America as always being the 'good guys'. Specifically not really ever mentioning our role in undermining democracies in third world countries all over the world.

I think there should be more focus on economic history at least in university level courses. While some of it is horrifically boring, it can be very interesting, at least in my admittedly biased opinion.

Are we talking at the high school level or the college level. As a college instructor, I find myself having to correct numerous inaccuracies. For example, /u/why_the_love's post, at my university, the American history curriculum is an active rebuttal of many of the tropes of American History as taught in high school.

This submission has been removed because it violates the rule on poll-type questions. These poll-type questions do not lend themselves to answers with a firm foundation in sources and research, and the resulting threads usually turn into monsters with enormous speculation and little focussed discussion. “Most”, “least”, "best" and "worst" questions usually lead to vague, subjective, and speculative answers.

For questions of these types, we ask that you redirect them to more appropriate subreddits, such as /r/history or /r/askhistory.
