Thanks for posting! I am hanging on to my American History textbooks from college (40 years ago) for precisely this reason.
Got a great history book from the 50’s which is about the war, but recently I read another book about the war written just a couple of years ago and it’s like reading a different war.
North good, went to war to free blacks.
South bad, hated blacks wanted slavery forever.
No facts, all a fairy tale and this is now what kids read sadly.
Well except mine as I have been telling them history and politics since they were 5.
Oh and my oldest is off to register to vote today after school.
Henry Louis Gates on black owned slaves
440,000 free Negroes in the South
