American school books are far from accurate, or even true. Lots of omissions and falsehoods.

#WhiteWashedHistory 

Please make note.

I never knew this about it tho. And in the grand scheme of things wow…slavery never truly collapsed.

😕

I… actually don’t think I was ever taught that it was white people running the Underground Railroad. Are people taught that???? Wtf.

Well, that’s how it works. They never come out and say “it was a white people thing.” But… I literally can’t think of any depiction of it where the UR people weren’t either a) famous a la Tubman or b) white. (In fact, here in Canada, there was a heritage vignette that showed a white family smuggling a black man over the border to his family, who rejoiced about how “We’re free! We’re in Canada!” It’s… naked racist propaganda, and super-ugly.)
