Numbers 1,3,4,5,7,and 8 were taught to me in public school. I had to learn the truth as an adult.
Numbers 6 and 9 I did not learn in school at all. Didn't know who they were until the last few years
Numbers 2 and 10 were taught correctly in school. Living in Alabama I don't think they could have not taught those correctly.
