there, it complicates it. it is not a football game. this was real. most history classes we teach that the winners write history. the civil war, the losers try to write history. when we look at southerners, how they try and twist the narrative what happened, i want to put us in their shoes and learn why. if you can teach empathy when it comes to history, it's such a powerful thing for the rest of your lives. >> all right, boys. in your packet, turn to new perspectives on slavery. what we have here are statistics about slavery. i want you to talk about what's jumps out at you. >> it says about 1. 1 million southern families owned no slaves. only about a little over 350,000 owned slaves. that's only a fourth or fifth. it's actually pretty crazy statistics. only a handful of people had one or five slaves. it's just probably around the household, which probably would've been treated pretty well. >> it depends.
