of the United States, why would it be important to include the perspective of American slaves? If you were writing a history book of the world, why would it be important to include the perspective of the Kalahari Bushmen? Y'all know who the Bushmen are, right?

All Answers To Questions

I think American history books ALL suck because they are from the view of NO ONE. They never really mention any real people from the point after the Revolutionary war, it ALL becomes the president and what they did at that time. I love all history and I think American history is one of the least interesting or addressed. They need more perspective of citizens and SLAVES to get a better understanding of the people who made this country.

Slavery was considered one of the most important contradictions of the American experience by even its creators, so to not include the perspective of the practice from the side of both its victims and practitioners would be intellectual laziness. The Kalahari Bushmen are considered the oldest people on the planet, so to write a history of the world without them is like starting a novel midway through the story without establishing its characters.

that's the problem with history books, they only have one perspective. Of course they favor the group of people writing the book. More perspective can only inform the reader more of what really happened.

Might as well not include any other race. The black people have contributed more than the history books write about. The Bushmen are important too. And IMO the happiest people on the planet. they don't have to deal with a lot of modernized civilization.
