  Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me...

  A college professor debunks the myths that have infiltrated America's school curricula. 
  In 1995, James W. Loewen penned the classic work of criticism Lies My Teacher Told Me, a left-leaning corrective that addressed much of what was sanitized and omitted from American history books. 
  But in the decades that followed, false leftist narratives—as wrong as those they supplanted—have come to dominate American academia and education. Now, in the same spirit but updated for 2024, Wilfred Reilly demolishes the scholastic myths propagated by the left, uncovers fresh angles on “established” events, and turns what we think we know about history upside down. Among the popular lies he debunks:“The ‘Red Scare’ was a moral panic that caught no commies”“Native Americans were peaceful people who spent all day dancing”“European colonialism was—empirically—a no-good, terrible, very bad thing”“The racist ‘Southern Strategy’ turned the South Republican”“The Vietnam War was unpopular and pointless” 
   
  Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me sets the record straight on many of these myths, explaining that there actually were communists in Hollywood; that many Native American tribes were cannibals, owned slaves and made them march the Trail of Tears with them; and that history, while almost always bad for Black Americans, was much worse for all of us than we tend to think it was.  
  Smart, irreverent, and deeply researched, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me will revolutionize your understanding of history and reveal a new and refreshing way to teach and think about the past.

  The Enlightenment in America -...

  The Enlightenment, a period of intellectual and philosophical advancement in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, laid the groundwork for many of the principles that would shape modern democratic societies. Its influence reached far beyond Europe, significantly impacting the American colonies and their path to independence. Understanding the roots of Enlightenment thought requires exploring the major intellectual movements that preceded it, including the Renaissance, the Scientific Revolution, and the Reformation. 
  At the heart of the Enlightenment was a growing emphasis on reason, individualism, and skepticism toward traditional authority. The Renaissance, which spanned the 14th to the 17th centuries, marked a resurgence in classical learning and a renewed focus on humanism—the belief in the value and agency of human beings. Renaissance thinkers, such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, laid the groundwork for later intellectual revolutions by advocating for a more secular view of the world, emphasizing human capability and creativity. This shift from a purely religious worldview to one that incorporated human reason would directly influence Enlightenment thinkers who challenged the authority of both the church and monarchy. 
  The Scientific Revolution, which began in the 16th century with figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton, was a key precursor to Enlightenment thought. The scientific discoveries of this era demonstrated the power of reason and observation in understanding the natural world. These discoveries not only transformed scientific inquiry but also encouraged a new way of thinking about society and governance. The methods of empirical observation and logical reasoning that characterized the Scientific Revolution were adopted by Enlightenment philosophers, who sought to apply them to human behavior, politics, and ethics.
