no american school accurately depicts the horrors of slavery. I went to highschool in a northern state that didn't have its education system ruined by chuds and like once a month for years after graduating i'd learn some new depth to the depravity of american history.
if anything, they're more likely to be "war of northern aggression" types who were taught enslaved people liked the job security and "free" food and shelter.
