How much do you know about The Red Scare in the US? I'm American and barely know anything about it.
It's just not really talked about and not, as far as I know, due to fear of being imprisoned for it.
Ugly history is often "forgotten" even when there is no compulsion to "forget" it.
- craftkiller 3y agoI'm also American and The Red Scare was taught in my high school. That being said, the Battle of Blair Mountain, the Tulsa Race Massacre, and the MOVE bombing were left out of my curriculum.

The biggest massacre of Native Americans in what eventually became the Continental US is largely forgotten by the modern US in part because it occurred during the Civil War at a time when there was no TV, internet, etc. The date: 29 January 1863. It gets remembered by various names and various sources give different counts for how many died. Wikipedia says 250 Natives were killed. Other sources say closer to 500. https://boaogoi.org/ https://boaogoi.org/
