RE: "The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism

Thanks, Linda! Please excuse this remark - facing the risk that any comments on the slavery issue usually stir emotions I have to admit I am a bit irritated by the headline, especially regarding 1.,2., and 5. At least here the economic meaning of slavery is one "basic" aspect to be taught on American history as necessary to understand the secession that led to the war.

Coming from "neutral territory", as this really surprised me, I honestly would like to learn what is taught (instead) on this topic?
