I really enjoyed " Brief history of USA".
It was hard to know if he was being bias or express a fact. A fact would be that the Europeans fled to the States . Moore was being bias when he said all white Americans were against black Americans during the 1950's, there were some white Americans where fighting for equality.

I think the film really helps understand American society and its history.
One of the facts he expresses is African people were brought by white American as slaves in the 1800s.
Moreover, it is also true many African Americans started to fight against discrimination in the 1950s.
One of biases is black people hate white people, and vice versa.

This film helps me to know about American history.
Europeans ran away to America. Also, they treated African people as slaves.
White American discriminated African people even after those days.

The "Brief History of USA" short movie was really great! It introduced me to the hisotry of The United States and made me understand it more, even though it was kind of sarcastic in some points. I guess the main facts that the short movie showed us were that the Pilgrims who came from Europe to The US killed most of the native Americans. The other fact is that white people went to Africa and took the people there as their slaves. What I think is bias in this short movie is when they said that all white people didn't want to do any work and that's why they went to Africa. The second bias is that because of the slaves, America was the richest country in the world.

This film made me understand U.S culture very briefly, so I did not get bored.
One of the facts that I leaned that the people who called Indian is not Indian from India.
Until I know about it, I just wondering how Indian from India come from such a far place.
Another fact was that American invented bullets.

I took geography when I was a high school student. Thus, I don’t know any kind of history even about Japanese history well. However, through watching this movie, I could understand the big picture of American history. In addition, it was a kind of animation, so there was no realistic grotesque scene. Therefore, I totally recommend that people watch this short movie.

This film helps me know about American history through a really brief and interesting animation. It expresses some facts, such as where the original American people came from, the history of warlock anxiety. However, from my perspective, the director did have some bias about American history. The most conspicuous opinion is that American people are obsessed with guns.

A part of movie we watched attracted my curiosity because it account for U.S. history using comical animation. One of the facts is that people called Pilgrims in Europe were afraid of being persecuted and they move to Amrica to flee from the anxiety. That white people could not believe the freed slaves would not take revenge and they formed the Ku Klux Klan can be both bias and fact.
