?? Is that to say that before now you had never learned the history of the U.S. from a public or private school curriculum? State law in every state has required general education by law. Either your folks were breaking the law by keeping that from you, or you were an incredibly recalcitrant student, or you are posing that your Southern locally-appointed Board of Education were always Yankee lackeys.

...Horrible, the humanity! White Southern children roiling in the gutters for scraps of food falling from the fine carriages of Northern investors who had called in the loans of their disenfranchised parents -- white Southern women left defenseless to amalgamation -- roving bands of disrespectful negroes looking whites in the eye and imminent for insurrection -- effete soldiers in blue protecting Federal assets located in the South as if the American people owned those assets -- and injury to insult, thousands of Southern people injured and dying from TARIFFS and LESS POWER IN GOVERNMENT!

or is it

...Horrible, the humanity! Black Southern children roiling on plantation house lanes for scraps of food falling from the fine carriages of their Southern Slaveowner masters who allow but meager portion to their slave parents -- black Southern women left defenseless to the amalgamation of their white masters -- roving bands of slave-catching patrollers enforcing respectful head bowing and imminent for quelling insurrection by whipping and lynching -- effete slave drivers optimizing incarcerated human assets in the South as if they were livestock -- and injury to insult, thousands of Southern blacks injured and dying from MALNUTRITION, EXPOSURE, DISEASE, OVERWORK and SOUL-CRUNCHING SEPARATION from members of their family.

One of those two scenarios justifies war-making outrage -- the other is a myth.

For your fist statement, I had US history 7th grade but didn't mention expanding slavery to those places and I'm currently in the revolutionary war in AP US history. As for the 2nd I never said slavery as a whole was a good thing I'm pointing out the causes of the war. And not all slaves were treated in this horrible Uncle toms cabin thing you came up with.

School systems are highly relevant in this discussion ...it has been posed that schools were the origin of some myths about the Civil War.
