In the U.S. history classes I have taken, we barely ever talked about slavery or the brutal tactics used the against the Idians when we took thier land. When presidents like Geroge Washington are bragged about, no one ever mentions his use of slaves.No one ever mentions how right after Abraham Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address, he went right to bossing around his slaves. Why is it that when hese things are reflected on, it is considered OK? So what if these people lived 200 years ago, they were by today's standards, "bad people". I don't understand why just because these people led our country and founded it, they have to be considered good people.
