Yeah. For sure. These are huge local events in history. The expectation isn’t that everyone should be taught this, but people who reside in each state should be taught some of the biggest events, that shape the history of that state.

Education should not be confined to school hours, or end when formal schooling ends. School history will inevitably be selective, there’s not enough time. Even a lifetime is not enough time. An overall shallow knowledge and the occasional detailed study of a few topics will have to suffice because there’s not enough time.
