and then Andrew Jackson beat him with his walking cane

Andrew is awesome

😂 f00kin legend

Andrew Jackson was perhaps the first "People's President"

populist

But the unis have a thing against that kind of thing so they just call him racist and emphasize the Trail of Tears at the expense of everything else.

...Coincidentally, I think understanding Trump requires understanding Jackson.

So the treatment is probably not accidental.

History is a SJW converged discipline.

History is a set of lies agreed upon

speaking of forgotten presidents

i think william Harrison's legacy is overlooked so badly 😦

people don't know about all the things he did

What'd he do you think is significant?

Admittedly, I'm enough of a libertrian to be fond of Coolidge for doing very little.

he died after 33 days into his presidency

he didn't get to do anything 😂

on a cold rainy day he came without an overcoat, on horseback to his inauguration

held the longest inauguration speech in US history

then caught Pneumonia

and died

har har.

😉

Unfortunatley history does tend to have a leftist slant to it

In my vietnam war class we spent as much time on the protests as we did on the war itself

The main reason people are ignorant about their history is that its glossed over in the lower schools

I have a friend that told me that in Conneticut they used A People's History exclusively.

Appalling IMO.

How can you use a book designed to supplement and provide and alternative to "the standard history" when you don't even know what the "standard history" is?

Thats why im trying to be a history teacher

Theres far too much that goes unsaid and unexplained, good and bad

A massive restructuring of the ciriculum for history is in order

It should be. But unfortunately, I don't see it coming.

the greatest lie the left put in history was to make Nazi germany right-wing

The not-left has been pushing for it since atleast the 90s.

But the field has only gotten increasingly radical and pretends to have no idea why it is and doesn't intend to address it even in parts.

Reading more about People's History

I dont see how this is anything other than communist propaganda

that's exactly what it is.

It's highly popular on the Left too.

what is?
