Yes. History books aren't memorials honoring slavery. They are tools used to educate.

Wrong actually as most books used in the public school system are still selective to fit the narrative of how people want this country to be viewed. Yes they show slavery as an atrocity in this country yet forget to go in depth that our founding fathers for the most part were just as guilty but yet we promote them for committing treason.

No different we celebrate those who hit the shores of this country and settled it but yet ignore in those same books what they did to the Native Americans but later when it does not hurt the narrative they talk about the atrocities committed by Jackson to the Cherokee and still later ignore what we did when our great country expanded west.

So no the books do not educate just create a narrative to promote one version of the events.
