<p>No, I was taught in School (Evansville ---- so perhaps that barely counts) that slave owners treated their slaves well because they were valuable property. And I was taught that after the civil war, evil carpet-baggers descended on the poor noble defeated south and took terrible advantage of them. But eventually, the noble defeated southerners were able to throw out the evil carpet baggers and restore order and self-rule. It really was a twisted revisionist history. </p>

<p>I don't recall being taught that Washington or Jefferson didn't own slaves. They just left that part out usually. I don't recall ever being taught that slavery was a "benign institution." Me thinks you're exaggerating.</p>
