Presents discussions related to the military civil dictatorship as a concept as is presented both in official documents, as in the DCN's and textbook and as they are approached in the Basic History classes. The way the past has been rescued for the construction of learning is the object of work analysis, which it uses documentary analysis and empirical observation. Presents a brief history of the teaching of History from the 1960s to the 1980s. It also discusses recent studies on Burdening History within the perspective of History Education, investigating how this period is presented in some official documents that govern the curricular structure. Finally, it ponders considerations about the teaching of history and how historical learning can overcome a Manichean type of thinking, deployed during the military administrations, which is still present, and needs space to be overcome in the school environment and open space for the discussion and debates that allow the development of arguments on controversial issues. Based on analysis theoretically on studies of researchers such as Bodo von Borries (2011, 206), Jorn Rusen (2001, 2010, 2012) and Maria Auxiliadora Moreira dos Santos Schmidt (2006, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015).
