Yeah, things like lynchings, Sand Creek, The Battle of Blair Mountain, Palmer Raids, The New York Draft Riots, etc we’re events I had to learn about AFTER my four year history degree in state college........

Don't forget the weekly Sunday evening Pic-Nics Whereby after church whites would gather in the square with their kids and packed meals to watch and cheer their weekly lynching/burning/castrating of a Negro. Hence, the term picnic. School books don't teach this
