So today blew my mind it was just that fact that the map we are using is completly wrong. There are two main maps the one we talked about was Peters map. The one we use in most schools today make Europe and America look bigger and Africa and South America look smaller. There was a reason the map made them larger because back in 1500 when the map was made was sailing in a straight line to America is easier than a curved line. Peters map doesn't have to do that because its not the twenty first century because we don't sail over the ocean to get other countries anymore to settle there. Even when we do go over the ocean by boat we use Gps.   Massachusetts schools however have decided that its best to move to Peters map and might be the reason why we will changing to Peters map in this country.
