​Slavery Textbook & Online Lessons 

To paraphrase Maya Angelou, "History, despite its wrenching pain, if faced with courage, need not be lived again." My name is Edie Morton. I'm a certified Master's level educator with thirty years of experience teaching social studies to diverse groups of students in four different states. I have spent decades developing online curricula for the same. Several months ago, a California group tasked me to create a textbook documenting slavery and its consequences in the United States accompanied by online lessons. I was happy to do so, especially given the bold reemergence of blatant racism and attempts by some government officials to replace facts with revisionist history. I am committed to presenting an honest look at American slavery. I began serious research into the facts of slavery when my youngest son, who is mixed, never received this information during his formal education. Consequently, I taught him myself using much of the research utilized for writing my text. The Justification, Legalization and Inescapable Legacy of American Slavery is a 24-chapter text I published on Amazon. Amazon requires me to put a price on my book, so I priced it a $.99, and unlimited sharing is allowed. It is available digitally, but the chapter files are included with the free lessons and may be printed and reproduced.  Forty-eight online lessons are linked at the end of the text and follow Common Core standards. They include primary source documents along with narratives and memoirs. Lesson one represents the layout of each lesson and is linked below: Https://www.missinformationcourses.com/lesson1.html
Each lesson includes both research and literature extensions. I am happy to share my text and these free-use lessons with those interested in gleaning information about slavery from historical accounts of those who lived it. I've also explained the maligned CRT and provided current examples of systemic racism in the United States. I derived most of the information from my recent experience teaching government and economics to inner-city students in Houston, Texas. Feel free to share this information.
