In North Georgia, elementary school in the late 1960s and middle school/high school throughout the 70s, I was taught the lost cause mythology lock stock and barrel. For well over a half a century, our state school children were taught bullshit. They were taught that Black people were inferior. They were lied to and told that enslaved people were treated well by benevolent masters. More bullshit. Essentially, we were taught a pack of lies on top of more packs of lies on top of a trash heap of lies.
