REWRITING HISTORY: THE CONSPIRACY TO CHANGE THE PAST

Slavery
Internet History

Slavery
In 2010, the Texas Board of Education caused outrage with a plan to amend school textbooks in a way that would put slavery in a more positive light. For example, they pushed to rename the Atlantic slave trade, which brought some 600,000 African slaves to the shores of the U.S., as the Atlantic triangular trade. Thankfully, that amendment was struck down but critics NAACP President Ben Johnson contends that Texas history textbooks water down slavery and civil rights conflicts.
