    The nastiest trick our history books have pulled is making the Civil War itself into the tragedy and not the decades of slavery before it

        Also 100 yrs after slavery- blacks discriminated against in jobs & housing & limited to only a very few allowed to build generational wealth

        150 and counting, really. The discrimination didn't stop, it just got forced underground.

        I wouldn't be surprised if this was intentional, given many class textbooks' standards go through Texas.

        Even more, it wasn't even fought to end slavery. It fought to preserve the union

        It started w/Lincoln's act to stop expansion of slavery into new territories. The south seceded because they thought this was restricting.

        It's not a trick. White people simply don't empathize with PoC. They genuinely can't fathom all the PoC affected by slavery because of that.

        If you grow up in the south you learn that the reconstruction was the tragedy not the reassertion of a whites-only state after it

        (raised in IL) now I remember how much it was played up that "unqualified" black folks got to serve on juries and hold government office 🙄
