Quote:History is probably the most corrupted subject in State schools your right history is taught from a perspective of glorification of the state. Just like the civil war is taught as a subject about slavery and glosses over the issue of federalism or that less then 2% of the south owned slaves.

 

No, the Civil War is taught as having many causes, slavery certainly being one of them.  (Of course pro-confederates like to gloss over the subject of slavery, and would prefer their children to think I suppose that slavery wasn't really all that bad).  It doesn't matter what portion of the south owned slaves -- though it certainly isn't the low 'less than 2%' that you use.  Going by the 1860 census results 25% of southern families owned slaves. (Just 8% of all american families, though that includes the North)
