Why is the Spanish colonization of America ignored in history books?
The Spanish colonization is not ignored in history books. I have been teaching US history for 25 years and each year have started the year with the Spanish colonization. Some state textbooks have adopted a revision of history that is not factually correct and may not include parts of US history because of views of the writers of the books. It is up to the teacher and the students to recognize when a textbook is incorrect and correct the history. Even the best researched books will have mistakes, but it is on the teacher to learn all he/she can about what is being taught in that subject. History is a vast subject and requires continual reading and research to understand and to be able relay the subject correctly. I never stop learning history or reading the works of various authors to try to get a full understanding of history.
