And we are mostly studying slavery and what happened in late 1800’s after Lincoln died. Learning a lot of things I never did in school. Like The women leaders of the suffragette movement were elitists and left the blacks out of their civil rights movement.

We think it’s bad now but 53,000 blacks were killed between 1865 and 1900. Facts I didn’t know.
