Kids in the UK aren't taught about most of the awful things their country did. Just like most places. Gotta go to university for that knowledge. Want the rabble to be loyal.

We were shown the below map and specifically told that they took africans as slaves and got sugar etc in exchange.

But you are right that there's a shitload more to be taught that isn't shown in schools
