I was educated in the US public school system in the mid 2010s and I felt like history class was 1/4 American slavery, 1/4 trail of tears, 1/4 revolutionary war, and 1/4 holocaust across middle and high school. Apparently that’s not normal, or the other kids weren’t absorbing anything.

I doubt it. Probably has to do with incomplete/bad education. I imagine we would average similarly badly when asked about other WWII era trivia.
