History books are pretty terrible - almost as bad as American science texts. Most have positions under-represented or poor information, of state half-truths about what actually went on (US Civil War is particularly bad in most texts, with poor or incomplete views on slavery, racism, and who all the good and bad guys were on both sides).

Of course, the modern public schools don't teach children how to think, study, research, and write from the beginning properly anyway. Teachers' unions, schools of education, corporations, lawmakers, and parents ALL at fault on this.
