"We own the history."

Unfortunately, we don't.

We own it in its original form, but that original form is unknown. But the original form of history hasn't been taught in generations.

Our Founders were deeply Christian. That's been taken out of schools for decades. Nobody knows what Natural Law is coming out of a school and its written right into the Declaration of Independence.

Additionally about our Founders, many were actively abolitionist. Good luck finding a student who knows that from a teacher.

On abolition, I guarantee you that every single student without exception - 100% of them, think that abolitionism began in Britain and eventually spread here. The opposite is true. That was an American idea in the context of transatlantic slavery.

Slavery was largely European; European ships, European cargo, European ports; and prior to that, sourced entirely from slave traders in Africa. All taken out. They even blame the U.S. for times when the U.S. didn't even exist - prior to 1776.

Gun control was a major contributor to the revolution. Taken out decades ago.

The role of wealth redistribution at Plymouth. Taken out a century ago.

Heck, the Founders themselves are largely eliminated at this point. At best students are going to discover the existence of maybe five memorable people. Not the nearly hundred that had major roles.

And additionally, the progressives have erased their own history to prevent us from learning it and using it against them.

If we wanted to actually do something significant with history, we could. However, there are very few citizen historians out there. So the history sits there, unprotected from progressive manipulation. Unused to restore the country.

Progressives are free to cover it up and hide it with impunity. When they're out there removing statues of Abraham Lincoln, its obvious that history is in shambles.

This book, written over a century ago, directly blames Britain for slavery in America, and with good evidence. See chapters 4 and 8.

My remark was intended sarcasm, parroting that Globalist woman saying that same ohrase but about science.
