I would 100% agree.

I was just talking to an on duty RA in my dorm about that. He's from Canada and was telling me that their history books are slanted in a way which always makes Canada look good. And when I thought about it, that's the way US text books are.

For instance, I never knew how bad times were during the Civil War until I saw the movie "Gangs of New York." I had never learned in History class that the US Army and Navy were used to quell conscription riots.
