The Potential Political Biases Between History Textbooks: New York and Texas

My senior project examines how American history textbooks present information that differs according to location of the schools. There is a specific process within the educational publishing industry, that combines with state curricula, that affects content. This project addresses these processes by examining two history textbooks, one from New York and one from Texas. These two textbooks are analyzed to see if any political biases are presented within them in regard to three important topics: slavery, the Civil War, and the Civil Rights Movement.
