Summary: Progressives have been attacking U.S. history for over 120 years.
It’s start when you decide to go really full retarded and start going to “lectures” by drunken or high “perfesers” at “college” instead of just hangin’ out at Panama City drinking beer.
This right here is what makes that book from Frothingham that you did so important, and I cannot thank you enough for doing it.

Frothingham’s important work was written before the progressives took over history and made it their own. Just comparing the work of Frothingham to a progressive historian from the 1930s ought to be apparent, much less one of today’s race baiters.
It’s ‘not all the same’ - it’s worse now than it’s ever been.
I did want to make a side comment.
You can see in the pages that come after what I quoted, there was indeed a huge pushback from many against the new and more overtly progressive history. The second, more subtle progressive history written by the “truth tellers”, that one never went away.
You can see even here, progressives use science to cloak themselves and their true intent, and the blinding success they have with this because people never stop to think that the guy with the lab coat is arguing his cause through “objectivity” in extremely bad faith.
I have not the words to tell you how important our fight is in restoring the true American history which was lost 120+ years go.
I see mention of an audiobook but no link? I drive a lot, please let me know of there is one.
Item #30 details the thread topic: Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
Americans showed themselves to be good little nazis with how quickly they embraced every .. single .. item.
Progressive patience is not hard to understand. For a century they got all the benefits of living in the freest, most prosperous country ever while taking their time undermining it. Way better than living in the Soviet Union at the time.
Woodrow Wilson.
How do we battle an education system that not only teaches Howard Zinn’s 1980 attack on America, but has teachers that actually believe it?
You barely beat me to mentioning Howard Zinn.
“Progressive” is the nice thing they like to call themselves to pretend they’re anything but death worshippers. They never look for the positive when it comes to their own country or culture. Always the negative, until freedom sounds worse than slavery (which they are supposedly against even though they don’t breathe a word of complaint about all the slavery present in the world today. It’s only American slavery 150 or more years ago they complain about as if it’s happening today).
Those who attack America can never answer this question - what county is superior to America in any way? What country has achieved more or sinned less?

Large scale immigration in the late 19th and early 20th Century provided a new crop of students uneducated in the traditions of America’s founding - and many of their parents were Marxists. A target rich environment.
The writer is wrong - the abolitionists in the antebellum period were the first - constantly and vociferously berating the founding and founders.
For revisionist American history of the Progressive stripe, see Charles and Mary Beard.
