The Atlantic slave trade directly effected his country of origin and many many others, unquestionably more so than the trans-Saharan. That's why, if preference is a must, he's being taught about that.
Though i do agree, that all forms and occurrences should be taught. Ideally. But that's not realistic and for every school subject, there's an endless wealth of knowledge which isn't taught.
