I was in AP US History so yes we talked about Pinkerton battles and all that, but it really falls on deaf ears for high schoolers. Once you become an adult and participate in the workforce, we should have to learn it again. America needs to celebrate its socialist and worker’s rights cultures, but it doesn’t by design.
They taught it in my (public) school. Sometimes I think a lot of people just aren’t paying attention in class.
Or…in a country as big as the US there are many differing levels of education depending on where the school is located and how rich the zip code is.
Some people may have been taught this and others weren’t.
Education is a privilege, and if you got a good one, you’re lucky.

I wasn’t taught past WWII in public high school.
This was for an AP US History class, so the teacher was teaching to the test… And of course, whoever controls the test controls what’s taught.
They taught it in mine too, although I feel it should have gotten more coverage instead of learning about WW2 every single year…
I went to public school in Texas. They taught us that both sides had many good points. Seriously.
