Not All Textbooks Recall the Events of History the Same

Captain John Smith saved Virginia due to the shape of settlers who whipped the "Gold Hanger". (Pele) According to Norton 's text, 104 boys were sent to a place called Czenakomoko in Chesapeake Bay. In May, Jamestown was founded. These people depend on Indian food. Without the help of Powhatan, the settlement suffered "starvation period". In 1613, the settlers took advantage of Poi Tang's daughter Pocahontas as a hostage.

Please imagine that I was surprised to read the textbook of history called "America, America" ​​and write the following text for 10th grade students in the American school. Each tribe speaks the same language and has the same religious belief. "Unfortunately, in reviewing the history textbooks used in our schools, this inaccuracy compares to other things depicted by indigenous Americans and how they are recognized by society It is mild that some ordinary people, and to some extent former US President, still believe that Native Americans are "barbarians".

In the textbook of my father's generation, when Muhammad bin Cassim invaded Sind, history textbooks did not begin in the year 712 AD. They include the history of the Indian subcontinent before this particular event. They also did not specifically discuss other chapters that are similar to the "ideology of Pakistan" and ambiguous ideas. In that article, Mr. Qureshi said, "People who are accurately understanding the history of Islam will prove to the best citizens of Pakistan, he will not take any action against Pakistani state. His mind will be full of love for Islam In my opinion it will lead to strengthening of Pakistan so the history of Muslims must be promoted Every citizen has a glorious Muslim tradition It is necessary to understand, which leads to the destruction of the country. "

Results However, most textbooks ignore or distort these events and processes. 1 I know, I drag 12 textbooks for a couple of years, seriously thinking about historical and ideological works, research what they are not saying, and why I am trying to find it. I chose twelve textbooks representing American history courses. It is always the window to the world that high school students take home, read, remember, forget them. In addition, I spent a lot of time visiting the high school history course in the metropolitan area of ​​Mississippi, Vermont, Washington DC and interviewing the high school history teachers.
