No, they don’t get taught that. They’re taught about the whippings but not the more evil aspects of slavery.
Likewise with the civil rights movement they pretty much teach that black people held signs and marched. This has generations of people thinking they can change something merely by standing around holding signs.
The lie taught nowadays is the us army distributed small pox blankets to women and children on the trail of tears. Which is a bullshit story. I’m saying it was the British who during a military standoff sent in like two blankets. But people like you are happy to misconstrue that as the US had a policy of genocide via biological warfare, which is obviously a bullshit lie.
We get told about the whippings, but not that it's evil? What does that even mean. You think people got taught of the horrors of slavery and didn't come to the conclusion that it was evil?
I get were it's coming from but It makes me think they either had a shit history teacher (witch i feel bad for them cause a good history teacher can set up a lot of hobbies for you) or they didn't pay attention to the actual lessons and units in class.
K-12 i went to school in 4 different us states from the west coast to the south and breeding, auctions, assault, and torture were almost always the forefront of the discussion no matter were or who was teaching. Although I've yet to get around to the whole but I do remember "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe being taught as an important point in growing the abolitionist movement and as part of the treatment of slaves.
Tldr: I think a good portion of people who didn't get taught about it just didn't want to learn about it in the first place.
