Why didn't we ever learn in school that an American President issued an executive order to send American citizens to concentration camps based on their ethnicity? (Franklin Delano Roosevelt - Ex. Order 9066, February 19, 1942)
Why didn't we ever learn in school that monetary inflation can be avoided? Its not just something that inevitably happens over time.
We learned about Lincoln's Gettysburg Address but why didn't we ever learn in school that he also said this:
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union:" (Letter to Horace Greeley, August 22, 1862)
