48 Liberal Lies about American History: (that You Probably Learned in School) | Larry Schweikart

pan

Schweikart bases his arguments on the assumption that pre-college students are actually interested in history and that they have enough grasp of language to process implicit bias.

More than half the “lies” are the most random things that were marginally, if ever, in any textbooks I had.

What I appreciate about this book is the window it has given me to fallacious conservative arguments.

Bro should chill on the exclamation points!!

BC_Dittemore Oh! My favorite Lie: Native American‘s Were Great Environmentalists. Here Schweikhart argues that the ultimate reason for Indian decimation was their own lack of environmental awareness 🙄. 3h

Union Cavalryman 1861-65 | Philip Katcher

pick

I recently delved into "Union Cavalry: 1861-65" by Philip Katcher and Richard Hook, and I must say, it's a phenomenal contribution to the Warrior Series by Osprey Publishing. As someone with a keen interest in military history, I found this book to be a well-researched and captivating exploration of the pivotal role the Union Cavalry played during the Civil War.

A book explaining what the white house is, like who lives there, what the Oval Office is, and White House traditions. It would be good to build civic knowledge in young grades!
