S03E05 - True History of the U.S., Natives, and Political Influence w/ Jack Henneman

Jack Henneman and RSnake discuss the issues with identifying the truth of history, presentism, intellectual dishonesty and the increase in politicalization of the history profession. They discuss the Columbian exchange, how people fail to think about Christopher Columbus in a broader context, how Drake's mission was wildly misreported, and much more. They also dig into some of the misconceptions about Native American culture, how cunning they tended to be in battle and how desperate life was for many Native Americans at the time. This is the American History that sadly an increasing minority of Professors are willing to teach (or are able to for that matter).
