Upvoted because it's criticising the un-united shithole of america with satire and also because people need to be made aware of the history of america that conservatives want to hide from you
Nobody's really hiding the existence of slaves, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say here
It's not so much hiding as glazing over. The fact that anyone would argue that the civil war was about 'states rights' should tell you how poorly we recall our history

texan textbooks
There are some crazies out there. Cough Yedolf cough
If you get your public education in the deep south, you'll get a lot of lost-cause revisionist history. Everything from "the civil war really had nothing to do with slavery" to "slaves were actually treated very well".
They seem to want to hide segregation.
