Non North American here. What the fuck are those things??? I've never read about those before. I've read about the CIA crimes against humanity already, and USA's banana republic. I guess somewhere back when I stopped reading more into the US's atrocities either life got me or I was too horrified.
Back in 1800s America had native Americans (indigenous) people. While we were stealing their land and scalping them, we also stole their children to "Americanize" those "heathens"... Jim Crow laws were against freed slaves if I remember. Unless you're specifically looking, the US educational system down plays it obviously.

Heyo not sure where you are from, but if you find these things worth looking into, you may also be interested in Canada's residential school atrocities. There was some unearthed history recently(ish) brought up about our governments history, similar to some of those historical events
I don't have any kicks to share but I remember there being some decent actual old school journalism responding.
