A conservative historian defends America’s past by debunking four dozen common liberal common myths

Within this follow-up to the best-selling A Patriot’s History of the United States, Professor Larry Schweikart once more issues liberal historians and their shameful attempts to distort our nation’s legacy. This time around he takes on authors of popular textbooks who, in an effort to be politically correct, tarnish America’s image in the eyes of our senior high school and college students.

The about 48 Liberal Lies About American History: (That You Probably Learned in School) problem isn’t that liberal authors present their opinions or interpretations of history from an obvious left-wing bias. The issue is writers who actually distort specifics and change data in an effort to show up objective and unbiased while furthering their leftist objectives.

Students learn, for example, the Founding Fathers had been elitists who drafted the Constitution to be able to defend their own economic passions . .That Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation only because he needed black soldiers. . . .That racist groups such as the KKK represented our society in the first twentieth century. . . .The failures of capitalism caused the fantastic Depression. All false, as readers will quickly realize.
