Lies Our Forefathers Told: the Myth of America, Part 1 (G393)

G – History

The American history we were taught in school does not necessarily represent the whole story. At every educational level, most of America’s story has been told from a particular viewpoint, that of its European settlers who came to dominate and govern the country. We have largely learned the myth of America. Part one of a two-part series covers the beginnings of the United States through WWI. Our discussion includes dividing up the continent, early colonization, creating a country, vying for control and joining the fray.
