    Your school actually taught that?

    Mine was brushed under the rug as “We gave them peace deals and then they got plagues/sickness”

      I think my school taught about Custer and that was about the extent of “oh by the way we did horrible things to the native population”.

      They’re supposed to follow up with that every year around Thanksgiving, introducing atrocities little by little until you’re learning about scalping, etc in middle school.
