We all know that history is not the left’s favorite subject. Many times, it’s just too inconvenient for their political narratives. Often, history has to be erased or submerged in order to achieve the “greater good” of creating a just and moral society.
In truth, it’s not much better on the right, although generally, the conservative take on American history is more nuanced. Christopher Columbus was an ass — a greedy, cruel, ambitious man who didn’t let anyone stand in his way to achieving riches and power, especially native people. But he was courageous enough to cross an unknown ocean in a rickety ship and with a mutinous crew.
Do his sins outweigh the good he’s done? Not our call. And certainly not the call of biased, cretinous leftists who don’t want to understand Columbus and only use his sins as illustrations in their little morality plays to condemn the entire “Age of Exploration.”
American history did not begin in 1492. There have been human beings residing in North America for at least 20,000 years and probably longer. But the people who crossed the Bering Sea land bridge from Asia to North America during the last Ice Age may not have been the first humans to arrive here. Recent DNA evidence shows that there have been several different migrations to North America with Native American tribes only being the most recent.
And that leads to the inescapable conclusion: the Native Americans who were present on the North American continent when Europeans arrived were not the same Native Americans who arrived 20,000 years ago. DNA evidence tracks the migration of one early American civilization — the Clovis people, so-called because the first tools and weapons were found in Clovis, New Mexico —

Bigfoots?
Eloi and warlox? Or was that future? LOL!
Don’t use logic and reasoning when confronting dogma determined leftists. It’s verboten.
Better call a vet, I think your “M” is dying. It seems to have flipped on its back.

Aztecs as they really were:
You have to approach them with illogic and unreasonableness. :-} If you dare approach them at all.
Pretty much like slavery. The Egyptians took Jews, Celts and Goths as well as Greeks as slaves. Hmmmm, if that’s the case blacks owe reparations to all white people.
The Solutreans
Do we? Progressives control history, so why wouldn't they favor it? Where do these false notions come from where they "fear this" and "don't have a favorite" that and why do these notions persist?
Bfl

You mean the Clovis peoples and mixed Denisovian descendants like the Ojibwa.
Columbus never killed or enslaved anyone and forbid his men from harming any of the natives (though they didn’t listen to him when he went back to Spain)
So, Columbus was sort of like your average democrat today?
And the Clovis people want their pipelines! 🤪
Oh, thought we were talking Don Cornelius of SoulTrain. :-}
The dirty little secret that has been erased from almost all the history books is that many of the tribes perfected the art of extended torture, and then partook in cannibalizing the victim, so they could absorb his strength. If you read some of the diaries written by colonists/Americans about their Indian captivity, it was brutal.
These Indians treated captives of other tribes much more horrid than anything the Europeans ever did to them.
Trail of Tears?? Please......
The Democrats alone were responsible for the Civil War.
Change my mind.
There was a war over silver?
