Yes. Or you couldn’t enjoy the majority of the US, which was taken from indigenous people.
People have grandiose expectations of elementary or high school education. At best, you have time to cover topics at a very high level and I’ve never had a class that even made it to the twentieth century.
As important as this historical tidbit is, it’s not a condemnation of history education. More than likely, this would come about in a college level course that is more specific.
It doesn’t matter. They didn’t hold a gun to anyone’s head. It’s hard to imagine anyone being dumb enough to not realizer what a gift that is.

I don’t think it is being intentionally obscured, it’s just too specific for elementary or high school education. There’s a chance a teacher could use it as spotlight type thing, but overall, that level of education is too broad.
