Middle_Passage_And_History

Middle Passage And History Throughout my study of History, more times than not, history has been compartmentalized or abbreviated so to say. Reviewing all that I have learned in History, looking back at it now, I can only see how many “facts and figures” have been left out of the picture. The textbooks I have read through have only provided mere glances of the periods or times, I was studying, never did it provide in depth details as to what happened. A Perfect example of such that I learned all to well was the Holocaust. Studying in school only provided me with brief excerpts of the history of the holocaust and many of my teachers had proclaimed that “Jews had been killed” in the broadest fashions. It was not until movies like Schindler’s List emerged that I quickly came to learn and apprehend the real truth of the Holocaust. The Jews were not just “killed” but they had been murdered in horrific ways and in more than one, but the textbook was not able to teach me that. As I grew up, learning about slavery in school did not provide me with many in depth facts either. When teaching about slavery, teachers truncated many history, passage, reading, one, middle, learned, been, american, writing, textbooks, mannix, depth, studying, slaves, slavery, provided, much, holocaust, facts, cowley, conditions, about, abbreviated, witnesses, very, until, under, truncated, totally, times, through, testimony, teachers, stream, should, settle
