In the mid-20th century, a generation after the civil war, the United Daughters of the Confederacy set out to rebrand the image of slavery. The group, composed of female descendants of Confederate soldiers, was fixated on returning the country’s social order to its antebellum racial hierarchy. It sought to reimagine slavery as a benign institution, and to glorify the “lost cause” of white southern insurrectionists who attempted to overthrow the government in slavery’s defense. The place that served as ground zero for the UDC’s revisionist-history effort? Schools.

That last bit was sarcasm, just in case.
The UK Guardian is an uneducated fifth column throwing rocks around in their glass house.
It was the Empire who brought all those slaves here to begin with, and it was the Patriots leading into the American Revolution who were the very first to start saying “You know guys, this slavery thing that the government wants so much may not be all that its cracked up to be, what do you think?”
A British rag saying word ONE about anything atlantic slavery related is at the height of hypocrisy. That’s why the port city of Bristol is in a crisis. In that town, they know they can’t point a finger in any other direction except “self”.
We need more conservatives to wake the hell up and realize that the Empire did this to us and its about time we started reminding the world of that fact.
Mid-20th century was a generation after the Civil War?
“... e.g., in some ways you’d think the US did the Holocaust, the way it was so emphasized along with self-hatred of US.”
About a year or so ago I read an article where a lady said her young daughter came home from school (California) and the daughter wanted to know why the US invented slavery.
yep, this is quite pathetic.
Yep, closer to 10 generations.

I'm a Trump supporter but I wish the rest of America knew more of the wonderful things DeSantis has done for Florida. PragerU is another nice addition.
It’s a fact: during slavery, as bad as it was, slaves learned useful skills that helped them after slavery. Even during slavery, a slave owner had much more to lose if a skilled slave died on him than an unskilled slave, so he had more incentive to keep the skilled slave alive and functioning. Are we supposed to believe that this never happened? That the slaves should not have been taught skills?
“a slave owner had much more to lose if a skilled slave died on him”
Slaves were valuable “property” so to speak. Back in the day when horse did most of the hauling and pulling.. a horse owner wouldn’t abuse that animal.
And a truly psycho slave owner is as common as a modern day psycho boss. And most are rare.. because it doesn’t pay to truly abuse the help.
Maybe this writer would better spend his words on the darling of the democrat party, Mr Rob’t C Byrd? Maybe they could write about what he felt in recent decades when he headed up a klan rally? It amazes me that bridges and roads are still named after this KKK chieftain????? Or does West Virginia still think that Mr Byrd was a lovable guy?
If you are in captivity and you learn to sew or cook. Then when released you are employable for those skills, why is this wrong?
The captivity or imprisonment is still horribly wrong, but the fact that you pressed on and survived it and used everything you learned to make it is a positive.
I can’t think, but I like the barf alert emoji. Nice add.
🌩️Zot?
amen. and the Republicans who are denouncing this need to reconsider.
the black guy who helped build the curriculum has been setting the record straight.
we need to quit letting the left set the narrative.
Was literally just there last week.
Indian reenactor there, who is at least part Indian, talked at length about interactions with whites. Much I think was hooey, but in particular to your point he mentioned the starving time - but the Indians didn’t think so because they knew how to plant and take care of themselves. He didn’t think it was much of a drought.
I just love our weekly dose of goodness this Florida legislature and Governor Ron DeSantis brings us.
It had the appropriate "barf alert" emoji to indicate expected reaction to the article.
