Americans, did you learn about slavery in school?

But my first grade teacher was a flat-earther so I didn't really have that going for me.
Like my textbooks in late 90s suburban Atlanta that referred to the civil war as "the war of northern aggression", and that the war wasn't actually over slavery anyway but instead 'state's rights'. And teachers telling us that the south treated their slaves so well that chattel slavery was actually better for them than being free. "Why would someone destroy their own property!" was a verbatim argument I heard in class from an AP US History teacher during a lecture.
