I'm convinced all the people saying that America doesn't teach what happens to the Indians (besides the first Thanksgiving) stopped paying attention in history class after elementary school.
Nah it just wasn't taught.
We (Texans) take 3 years of the history of our own state that just says "spain bad. Mexico bad. We want slaves. Confederacy good"
You think after 3 years they're just going to mention anything about the natives in the region?
Maybe YOU learned about it sure, maybe we could come to terms with the education system being different in literally every region (all 50) of the states (and each country globally)?
true, i remember slavery being a literal paragraph in texas history textbook. Next to no mention of American indians outised of tejas means friend
My education I got in Ohio was abysmal about this shit. Most of it was just review after elementary. And I say that as someone who would read the textbooks cover to cover.
A people’s history of the US was probably pivotal for me properly turning left, didn’t find it until well afterwards though.
I recommend this to EVERYBODY. Damn people need some true clarity.
"this wasn't my experience, so it didn't happen"
or you could listen to the people telling you otherwise, but why do that?
Yeah, my education didn't cover who taught whom about corn. It definitely covered reservations and forced marches and murder and sickness. Maybe we can cover all of that in a couple of weeks and forget how much time it took and what was covered?
