This reeeeally should be thought more in schools for looonger periods of time. I’m 27 now and when I was still in general education schools we covered stuff SOO BRIEFLY. I had to motivate myself to go out and learn the rest. ‘Can we say our fellow students en mass will do the say.’😔. When I look at my fellow peers, I think it does explain why so many people only look at small bits of history from one perspective that one side is loudest about, and feel it is so un-relevant to them in the mayhem of the 21st-century.

Honestly, I absolutely agree with Jacob Rees-Mogg here. Some things can be regretful, but not the Empire itself. The Empire gave sooo much more to the world that it took away exclusively for Britain. Especially actually even ending slavery before anyone else on such a large scale. THIS IS TRUTH.

@distantthunder12ck55 I am very much about generations still. I just graduated university. Although in universities it isn’t really covered at all as you have to remember that unlike in America, we have one particular field of study and that is it (so not toootally Uni’s fault). In school though, it’s very much is a problem as everything is very much skimmed over and left to be opinionated to fill in the rest. History is usually the topic that is least covered or perhaps demanded by those of the working class background (from what I remember in my schools and it was very disappointing fir a young boy at the time to see), which means it’s easier for so much to be forgotten or bashed by those who don’t feel it is relevant to them, except for something to always look negatively on without realising what it gave them.
